Hi Dave,

after a few complicated days both at home and work, I could take my time
to look at this nauty package features. It looks like a good idea to
integrate with it, rather than rewriting those algorithms into your own
code...

I haven't been able to install gt 0.9, because of failed dependencies
within my (old!) RedHat 7.2 . I'll have to ask for assistance to some
colleague who's more into those things than I am...

As to TODO list, it's a nice one. If I can think of something, I'll let
you know. Well, there's a minor thing which I can't remember whether we
talked about or not: given a graph G, and its chromatic polynomial P(x),
|P(-1)| is the number of ways to assign orientations to edges in such a
way that the resulting directed graph has no cycles (number of acyclic
directed graphs with G as subjacent graph).

As I have joined the list, I'll be informed of discussion on gt.

Cheers,

Josep M.
