This dependency solver code in this package is based on two major, but independent, blocks:

1. using a dictionary approach to store and retrieve package
and dependency information.
2. using satisfiability, a well known and researched topic, for
resolving package dependencies.
search the internet for 'sat solver' to get links to the theory behind it.
