++ Description: 
++  PermutationGroup implements permutation groups acting
++  on a set S, i.e. all subgroups of the symmetric group of S,
++  represented as a list of permutations (generators). Note that
++  therefore the objects are not members of the \Language category
++  \spadtype{Group}.
++  Using the idea of base and strong generators by Sims,
++  basic routines and algorithms
++  are implemented so that the word problem for
++  permutation groups can be solved.
--++  Note: we plan to implement lattice operations on the subgroup
--++  lattice in a later release

++ Description: 
++   PermutationGroupExamples provides permutation groups for
++   some classes of groups: symmetric, alternating, dihedral, cyclic,
++   direct products of cyclic, which are in fact the finite abelian groups
++   of symmetric groups called Young subgroups.
++   Furthermore, Rubik's group as permutation group of 48 integers and a list
++   of sporadic simple groups derived from the atlas of finite groups.
