// This is a modified implementation of Donald B. Johnson's algorithm for
// finding all elementary cycles (a.k.a. circuits) in a directed graph.
// See the paper "Finding All the Elementary Circuits of a Directed Graph"
// at http://dutta.csc.ncsu.edu/csc791_spring07/wrap/circuits_johnson.pdf
// for reference.

// Note: this version of the algorithm not only finds cycles, but breaks them.
// It uses a simple greedy algorithm for cutting: when a cycle is discovered,
// the edge with the least weight is cut. Longer term we may wish to do
// something more intelligent, since the goal is (ideally) to minimize the
// sum of the weights of all cut cycles. In practice, it's intractable
// to consider all cycles before cutting any; there are simply too many.
// In a sample graph representative of a typical workload, I found over
// 5 * 10^15 cycles.
