 * This class is the implemenation of the ``merge tree'' referred to in the
 * documentation for itk::WatershedImageFilter and other watershed segmentation 
 * component classes.  It holds a list of merges among image segments at
 * various saliency levels. The list is actually a representation of a binary
 * tree, whose nodes are segments and edges are saliencies.
