+/* For integers N and W, with 0 <= N < CHAR_BIT*sizeof(long),
+ calculates and returns the value of the function S(N,W),
+ defined as the number of subsets of 1, 2, 3, ..., N that sum
+ to at least W. There are 2**N subsets of N items, so S(N,W)
+ is in the range 0...2**N.
+
+ There are a few trivial cases:
+
+ * For W <= 0, S(N,W) = 2**N.
+
+ * For W > N*(N+1)/2, S(N,W) = 0.
+
+ * S(1,1) = 1.
+
+ Notably, these trivial cases include all values of W for N = 1.
+
+ Now consider the remaining, nontrivial cases, that is, N > 1 and
+ 1 <= W <= N*(N+1)/2. In this case, apply the following identity:
+
+ S(N,W) = S(N-1, W) + S(N-1, W-N).
+
+ The first term on the right hand is the number of subsets that do
+ not include N that sum to at least W; the second term is the
+ number of subsets that do include N that sum to at least W.
+
+ Then we repeatedly apply the identity to the result, reducing the
+ value of N by 1 each time until we reach N=1. Some expansions
+ yield trivial cases, e.g. if W - N <= 0 (in which case we add a
+ 2**N term to the final result) or if W is greater than the new N.
+
+ Here is an example:
+
+ S(7,7) = S(6,7) + S(6,0)
+ = S(6,7) + 64
+
+ = (S(5,7) + S(5,1)) + 64
+
+ = (S(4,7) + S(4,2)) + (S(4,1) + S(4,0)) + 64
+ = S(4,7) + S(4,2) + S(4,1) + 80
+
+ = (S(3,7) + S(3,3)) + (S(3,2) + S(3,2)) + (S(3,1) + S(3,0)) + 80
+ = S(3,3) + 2*S(3,2) + S(3,1) + 88
+
+ = (S(2,3) + S(2,0)) + 2*(S(2,2) + S(2,0)) + (S(2,1) + S(2,0)) + 88
+ = S(2,3) + 2*S(2,2) + S(2,1) + 104
+
+ = (S(1,3) + S(1,1)) + 2*(S(1,2) + S(1,0)) + (S(1,1) + S(2,0)) + 104
+ = 2*S(1,1) + 112
+
+ = 114
+
+ This function runs in O(N*W) = O(N**3) time. It seems very
+ likely that it can be made to run in O(N**2) time or perhaps
+ even better, but N is, practically speaking, quite small.
+ Plus, the return value may be as large as N**2, so N must not
+ be larger than 31 on 32-bit systems anyhow, and even 63**3 is
+ only 250,047.
