Bachelor: rewrite and benchmark skyline algorithms according to specs

          convert to GUILEv2 (that one's more like a term paper).
          
master: derive, prove and corrobate the asymptotic behavior of former

        refactor and create framework for outputs, adding XML output

        refactor page output, adding several examples for user-defined
        page layouts (with footnote layers suitable for critical typesetting)

        redesign and refactor engraver layers
        
Phd:    design optimization specification framework, migration strategy,
        bind page breaking into it, start migrating engravers

And quite a bit more.  There is always the diffuse

Bachelor:
        benchmark a whole lot and improve the hotspots until deadline
        approaches

Nothing wrong with that...
