/*!	\class BPrivate::Layout::LayoutOptimizer

	Given a set of layout constraints, a feasible solution, and a desired
	(non-)solution this class finds an optimal solution. The optimization
	criterion is to minimize the norm of the difference to the desired
	(non-)solution.

	It does so by implementing an active set method algorithm. The basic idea
	is to start with the subset of the constraints that are barely satisfied by
	the feasible solution, i.e. including all equality constraints and those
	inequality constraints that are still satisfied, if restricted to equality
	constraints. This set is called active set, the contained constraints active
	constraints.

	Considering all of the active constraints equality constraints a new
	solution is computed, which still satisfies all those equality constraints
	and is optimal with respect to the optimization criterion.

	If the new solution equals the previous one, we find the inequality
	constraint that, by keeping it in the active set, prevents us most from
	further optimizing the solution. If none really does, we're done, having
	found the globally optimal solution. Otherwise we remove the found
	constraint from the active set and try again.

	If the new solution does not equal the previous one, it might violate one
	or more of the inactive constraints. If that is the case, we add the
	most-violated constraint to the active set and adjust the new solution such
	that barely satisfies that constraint. Otherwise, we don't adjust the
	computed solution. With the adjusted respectively unadjusted solution
	we enter the next iteration, i.e. by computing a new optimal solution with
	respect to the active set.
