Well, there are some problems with typing in JUST the supplied code,
as it does not include declarations for malloc() or scanf().  Also,
on p. 420 Sedgewick notes that v1, v2, and index() are omitted since
they depend on the graph representation.  Thus, you should use the
given code as a guide to writing your own, not just copy it blindly.
