NQueens

[ OVERVIEW ]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle
It is a rather common topic for Computer Science related lectures.

I developed this circa 2005-06 as a programming exercise.
It is now released for educational purpose only,
as I would probably write it in a different way nowadays.
