Combination Execute (cexec)
---------------------------

This tool loads a preset and executes the given application with all possible
combinations of the given parameters.

It was written for "metapixel" to find out the best possible mosaic image. But
you can easily extend it for other purposes like finding out the best
compression parameters.

If you need to know which parameter belongs to which file, just pipe the output
through "tee": ./cexec ... 2>&1 | tee cexec.log

Syntax:
    ./cexec <preset> <infile> <outfile>

Example:
    ./cexec metapixel original_image.png new_image_%.png
    (The % will be replaced by the current combination number - you can also
     use it in the infile argument.)
