Discrete tomography in Google CP Solver.

Problem from http://eclipse.crosscoreop.com/examples/tomo.ecl.txt ''' This is a little 'tomography' problem, taken from an old issue of Scientific American.

A matrix which contains zeroes and ones gets "x-rayed" vertically and horizontally, giving the total number of ones in each row and column. The problem is to reconstruct the contents of the matrix from this information. Sample run:

?- go. 0 0 7 1 6 3 4 5 2 7 0 0 0 0 8 * * * * * * * * 2 * * 6 * * * * * * 4 * * * * 5 * * * * * 3 * * * 7 * * * * * * * 0 0

Eclipse solution by Joachim Schimpf, IC-Parc '''
