I'm not aware of any module with that specific function, but it's
algorithmically not too complex I'd think. If you're writing an application
that does this I'll assume that you have a basic gist of how to implement
it ;). It's been a while since I messed with the subject, so I'm not
getting any further than graphs in my head right now. Good luck!
