+ A simple spacing constraint solver. The approach:
+
+ Stretch the line uniformly until none of the constraints (rods)
+ block. It then is very wide.
+
+ Compress until the next constraint blocks,
+
+ Mark the springs over the constrained part to be non-active.
+
+ Repeat with the smaller set of non-active constraints, until all
+ constraints blocked, or until the line is as short as desired.
+
+ This is much simpler, and much much faster than full scale
+ Constrained QP. On the other hand, a situation like this will not
+ be typeset as dense as possible, because
+
+ c4 c4 c4 c4
+ veryveryverylongsyllable2 veryveryverylongsyllable2
+ " "4 veryveryverylongsyllable2 syllable4
+
+
+ can be further compressed to
+
+
+ c4 c4 c4 c4
+ veryveryverylongsyllable2 veryveryverylongsyllable2
+ " "4 veryveryverylongsyllable2 syllable4
+
+
+ Perhaps this is not a bad thing, because the 1st looks better anyway. */
