//************************************************
// Usage-Restrictions:
//
// Minimum number of entries:
// CDistanceCollection: Number of objects >= 0. Note: 0 and 1 Objects cannot be distinguished.
// CDistance_Cluster:   Number of objects > 1.  2 Objects: remains to be tested.

//************************************************


//************************************************
// Part I: Distance indices
// In order to index pairs of sequences we do the following:
// If we have two sequence numbers we assume they are smaller than short integers (16 bits).
// We can combine the two short numbers to a 32 bit index of both. This index is unique if
// we put the smaller sequence index into the higher bits and the larger index into the lower bits.
// Distance indices are of type unsigned and must be 32 bits in size in order to work.
//
// The following routines handle the index conversions:
// makeIndex creates an unsigned combined index from 2 short numbers.
// first_index and second_index extract the first and the second index of a pair.
//
// Note: Initial indices of sequnces: These should be the indices of the sequnces in the file.
//       They have to be unique in the range 0...taxaNum-1.
//       During the clustering we create new indices of cluster nodes.
//       In contrast to the distance indices, cluster indices are of type short.
//
// How the clustering is done:
// cluster_node is the main data structure in the clustering method.
// The hierachy of clustering steps are stored in the cluster_hierarchy,
// a vector of cluster nodes.
// The cluster_hierarchy has a very special form:
// The index of each node coincides with the this_nodes_index.
// This makes it efficient to obtain the cluster hierachy without
// having to search for the correct index.
// 
//
//==============
// Algorithm:
//==============
// We start by adding all pairwise distances to the dist_map.
// The indices of the pairwise distances are added to the current_cluster_indices
// as well as the all_cluster_indices.
// 
// Initially the pairwise distances are added as terminal nodes to the cluster_hierarchy.
// This is done by adding the indices of the pairwise distances to the cluster_hierarchy.
// Internally, they have children set to -1 and distance 0, indicating that they
// do not represent clustering steps.
// Note: The cluster_hierarchy is only used to keep track of the clustering steps.
//       The next step in the algorithm is determined from the sorted_distances,
//       a list of iterators to the current_cluster_indices. The list of 
//       sorted_distances keeps a list of iterators in accending order of the 
//       distances associated with the index. 
// Later we add cluster_nodes that have other cluster_nodes as children.
// Distances that have been clustered are marked for deletion and are erased permanently later. (For details, read the code.)
