International Solver Competition 2011

[Tom Marble]

All:

I thought this group would be interested to learn
of the International Solver Competition 2011 [0].

Of specific interest is the approach in comparing
resolvers [1]. We really have this problem in comparing
resolvers between the native Jigsaw algorithm and
the resolvers of all the potential downstreams,
such as Debian, Red Hat, OSGi, Maven, etc.

We need sort of a meta test to see if the
full graph of Jigsaw modules can be installed
in a set of major resolvers successfully...
Over time...  continuously *a la* Jenkins.

Sounds like a nice afternoon hacking project!
