Yes, I know  that before coding it's good to have  detailed plan (Due to 
moving GSoC application deadline I will have more time to think of it :) )

I know that DRC is one of the most important things which I should take into 
consideration...
I mean, that if the algorithm doesn't find move fulfilling DRC, it will be 
better when it doesn't do anything. 
After quite long time of thinking on this subject I made up my mind that maybe 
physics methods are quite good, mainly because they determine simple goals.
Unfortunately, I have no good idea for efficient implementation of this. I 
mean, that in my mind there are mostly approximate computations, which after 
disturbing give satisfactory (stable) result through repeated iterations. 
However,I don't know if it's a good idea...
