Believe me, this will get us done faster.  First of all, I finished it
ten minutes ago.  Second of all, I'm using Somebody Else's constraint
solver, which has been around for about a decade -- so it's bug free.
Using that cut down place_children() to something like 25 lines of
code.  So I think it radically reduced the chance of bugs.
