        <title>Layout algorithm is now applied to each connected component in the
    selection separately.  Previously, behaviour of layout on disconnected
    graphs was... undefined!</title>

        <title>Previously graph layout was done using the Kamada-Kawai layout algorithm
    implemented in Boost.  I am replacing this with a custom implementation of
    a constrained stress-majorization algorithm.
    
    The stress-majorization algorithm is more robust and has better convergence
    characteristics than Kamada-Kawai, and also simple constraints can be placed
    on node position (for example, to enforce downward-pointing edges, non-overlap constraints, or cluster constraints).
    
    Another big advantage is that we no longer need Boost.
    
    I've tested the basic functionality, but I have yet to properly handle
    disconnected graphs or to properly scale the resulting layout.
    
    This commit also includes significant refactoring... the quadratic program solver - libvpsc (Variable Placement with Separation Constraints) has been moved to src/libvpsc and the actual graph layout algorithm is in libcola.</title>
