--------

   The aim of this program is to demonstrate the algorithm to build the list
   of all the maximum axis-aligned rectangles that can be wedged into a
   discretized binary shape. The core algorithm is in the function
   Granu::findLargestIncludedRectangles.
   
   The programs are runnable on any Linux 32 bits system. For 64 bits systems,
   you have to recompile the code.
