%%%%
%%%%  This is a simple packer that take a specification in the format
%%%%  
%%%%    Spec       -> [WidthSpec, WidthSpec....]
%%%%    WidthSpec  -> {fixed,Size} | {stretch,Weight} |
%%%%                  {stretch,Weight,Min} | {stretch,Weight,Min,Max}
%%%%
%%%%  and a given total size it produces a list of sizes of the
%%%%  individual elements. Simple heuristics are used to make the code
%%%%  fast and simple.
%%%%
%%%%  The Weight is simply a number that is the relative size to the
%%%%  other elements that has weights. If for example the weights
%%%%  for a frame that has three columns are 40 20 100 it means that
%%%%  column 1 has 40/160'th of the space, column 2 20/160'th of
%%%%  the space and column 3 100/160'th of the space.
%%%%
%%%%  The program try to solve the equation with the constraints given.
%%%%  We have tree cases
%%%%
%%%%      o We can fullfil the request in the space given
%%%%      o We have less space than needed
%%%%      o We have more space than allowed
%%%%
%%%%  The algorithm is as follows:
%%%%
%%%%      1. Subtract the fixed size, nothing to do about that.
%%%%
%%%%      2. Calculate the Unit (or whatever it should be called), the
%%%%         given space minus the fixed sise divided by the Weights.
%%%%
%%%%      3. If we in total can fullfill the request we try to
%%%%         fullfill the individual constraints. See remove_failure/2.
%%%%
%%%%      4. If we have too little or too much pixels we take our
%%%%         specification and create a new more relaxed one. See
%%%%         cnvt_to_min/1 and cnvt_to_max/1.
%%%%
%%%%  In general we adjust the specification and redo the whole process
%%%%  until we have a specification that meet the total constraints
%%%%  and individual constraints. When we know that the constraints
%%%%  are satisfied we finally call distribute_space/2 to set the
%%%%  resulting size values for the individual elements.

%%%%  We know that we in total have enough space to fit within the total

%%%%  This is done with a simple heuristic. We pick the element that

%%%%  {stretch,W,Mi,Ma} to a {fixed,Mi} or {fixed,Ma} and redo the

%%%%  No known bugs. It try hard to distribute the pixels so that
%%%%  there should eb no pixels left when done but there is no proof
%%%%  that this is the case. The distribution of pixels may also
%%%%  not be optimal. The rounding error from giving one element some
%%%%  pixels is added to the next even if it would be better to add
%%%%  it to an element later in the list (for example the weights
%%%%  1000, 2, 1000). But this should be good enough.

%%%%  cnvt_to_min(Spec)

%%%%
%%%%  If the space we got isn't enough for the total minimal or maximal
%%%%  requirements then we convert the specification to a more relaxed
%%%%  one that we always can satisfy.
%%%%
%%%%  This is fun! We do a simple transformation from one specification
%%%%  to a new one. The min, max and fixed size are our new weights!
%%%%  This way the step from a specification we can satisfy and one
%%%%  close that we can't is only a few pixels away, i.e. the transition
%%%%  from within the constraints and outside will be smooth.
