Assignment 7 update.

I've updated *main.o:

 1 I've included my faster solution to assignment 7; use -t to see it. The
   faster code is asymptotically faster than the slower code. If your current
   code is about as fast as the slow code, you can't possible hope to tweak it
   to make it as fast as the fast one; you'll have to discover a new, faster
   algorithm.

 2 I've added some code to generate smaller problems: up to 4 green and yellow
   points each on a 11x11 field. I found using smaller problems a much easer
   way to test my code. Give the -l command-line option to use it.

 3 The test code compares the answers generated by the slow and fast code and
   explodes with an internal error if they're different. The fast code is
   significantly different from the slow code; although possible, it is
   unlikely that the same error occurs in both places. If the test code
   reports an error in the computed answer, chances are it's in your code and
   not mine (although you never know).
