/*

File DepthFirstSearch.m

This search is a standard depth first one.  At each step, the variable with the highest efficiency is selected and filled.  The search backtracks when a variable has no remaining values.

It is the responsibility of the variables to implement any special heuristics like backjumping and leapfrogging.
