This code comes from Thomas Niemann's "Sorting and Searching Algorithms:
A Cookbook",
http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/software/AlgAnim/niemann/s_man.htm
specifically
http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/software/AlgAnim/niemann/s_rbt.htm
The code is in the public domain; that web page says
"Source code, when part of a software project, may be used
freely without reference to the author."
