# Solve a multi-commodity flow problem.  Two products ('Pencils' and 'Pens')
# are produced in 2 cities ('Detroit' and 'Denver') and must be sent to
# warehouses in 3 cities ('Boston', 'New York', and 'Seattle') to
# satisfy supply/demand ('inflow[h,i]').
#
# Flows on the transportation network must respect arc capacity constraints
# ('capacity[i,j]'). The objective is to minimize the sum of the arc
# transportation costs ('cost[i,j]').
