  Synopsis    [Finds the best delay assignment of LUTs.]

  Description [This procedure iterates through all the nodes
  of the object graph reachable from the POs and assigns the best
  match to each of them. If the flag fDelayOriented is set to 1, it 
  tries to minimize the arrival time and uses the area flow as a
  tie-breaker. If the flag is set to 0, it considers all the cuts,
  whose arrival times matches the required time at the node, and
  minimizes the area flow using the arrival time as a tie-breaker.
  
  Before this procedure is called, the required times should be set
  and the fanout counts should be computed. In the first iteration,
  the required times are set to very large number (by NodeCreate) 
  and the fanout counts are set to the number of fanouts in the AIG.
  In the following iterations, the required times are set by the
  backward traversal, while the fanouts are estimated approximately.
  
  If the arrival times of the PI nodes are given, they should be 
  assigned to the PIs after the cuts are computed and before this
  procedure is called for the first time.]
