[jlnjchpr] bisecting trees

given a graph that is a tree, find an edge that, if cut, divides the tree into as equal sized pair of pieces as possible.  (there may be multiple possible such cuts; choose one.)  repeat for the subtrees.

motivation is to place some helpful landmarks (entrances to "regions") in a tree-like maze.  do the first few layers of landmarks end up all being near each other?
