  ///%Preflow algorithms class.

  ///This class provides an implementation of the \e preflow \e
  ///algorithm producing a flow of maximum value in a directed
  ///graph. The preflow algorithms are the fastest known max flow algorithms
  ///up to now. The \e source node, the \e target node, the \e
  ///capacity of the edges and the \e starting \e flow value of the
  ///edges should be passed to the algorithm through the
  ///constructor. It is possible to change these quantities using the
  ///functions \ref source, \ref target, \ref capacityMap and \ref
  ///flowMap.
  ///
  ///After running \ref lemon::Preflow::phase1() "phase1()"
  ///or \ref lemon::Preflow::run() "run()", the maximal flow
  ///value can be obtained by calling \ref flowValue(). The minimum
  ///value cut can be written into a <tt>bool</tt> node map by
  ///calling \ref minCut(). (\ref minMinCut() and \ref maxMinCut() writes
  ///the inclusionwise minimum and maximum of the minimum value cuts,
  ///resp.)
  ///
  ///\param Graph The directed graph type the algorithm runs on.
  ///\param Num The number type of the capacities and the flow values.
  ///\param CapacityMap The capacity map type.
  ///\param FlowMap The flow map type.
