Interesting program, especially the possibility to modify the rules!
I did not find an error, but I'd like to suggest to simpify the data
input. I think a program such as "given.ex" is not necessary. It would
be more intuitive if the user would write the data directly in the file
"given", and the format IMHO should be the same as the output format,
which is also the same format in which the Sudoku puzzle is probably
presented to the user. E.g. 0 or . can be used for empty fields.
