/* In this example we show the use of general constraints for modeling
 * some common expressions. We use as an example a SAT-problem where we
 * want to see if it is possible to satisfy at least four (or all) clauses
 * of the logical for
 *
 * L = (x0 or ~x1 or x2)  and (x1 or ~x2 or x3)  and
 *     (x2 or ~x3 or x0)  and (x3 or ~x0 or x1)  and
 *     (~x0 or ~x1 or x2) and (~x1 or ~x2 or x3) and
 *     (~x2 or ~x3 or x0) and (~x3 or ~x0 or x1)
 *
 * We do this by introducing two variables for each literal (itself and its
 * negated value), a variable for each clause, and then two
 * variables for indicating if we can satisfy four, and another to identify
 * the minimum of the clauses (so if it one, we can satisfy all clauses)
 * and put these two variables in the objective.
 * i.e. the Objective function will be
 *
 * maximize Obj0 + Obj1
 *
 *  Obj0 = MIN(Clause1, ... , Clause8)
 *  Obj1 = 1 -> Clause1 + ... + Clause8 >= 4
 *
 * thus, the objective value will be two if and only if we can satisfy all
 * clauses; one if and only if at least four clauses can be satisfied, and
 * zero otherwise.
