  Paul Moore's request:

  As an example of a practical problem which is not restricted to graph
  "experts", consider file dependencies. It's basically graph construction,
  plus topological sort, but it might make a nice "tutorial" example. Build a
  dependency graph of files, then use the algorithms to do things like

  1. Produce a full recompilation order (topological sort, by modified date)
  2. Produce a "parallel" recompilation order (same as above, but group files
  which can be built in parallel)
  3. Change analysis (if I change file x, which others need recompiling)
  4. Dependency changes (if I add a dependency between file x and file y, what
  are the effects)
