Sure, these are packages. But no actual algorithms, or discussions of
how to do these things by myself. Unless there's something in the latex
literature that I haven't found yet.


Between the time of sending this off to the moderation queue and
appearing, I found something about an Ada control flow graph making,
but all it does is offload the graphic bits to graphviz.


I was hoping, that if I did this by myself, I would not have to reinvent
the basics. That's all.
