 * File:        pageres.cpp  (Formerly page_res.c)
 * Description: Hierarchy of results classes from PAGE_RES to WERD_RES
 *              and an iterator class to iterate over the words.
 * Main purposes:
 *              Easy way to iterate over the words without a 3-nested loop.
 *              Holds data used during word recognition.
 *              Holds information about alternative spacing paths.
