It's pretty easy, just find one compatible solution and add or subtract

1 -1
-1  1

until one of the numbers would go negative. Or put differently, if you know one 
entry, you know the other three, so it is just a matter of working out the 
range of (say) possible top-left entries.

With more than 2x2 tables it is much harder, but fisher.test() does it 
internally.
