Hi,

permute the vertices with the permute_vertices() function, calculate
the spanning tree, and permute them back. But don't think that this
way you can generate all spanning trees, in general you cannot. It is
not even sure that different root vertices will give you different
spanning trees, they might just all give the same.

Feel free to modify it, if you like. igraph is free software, as long
as you don't distribute it, you can do whatever you want with it.
