Using a genetic algorithm to approximate the Mona Lisa with 100 rectangles (or ellipses)

Note:  This thing isn't very interesting to watch.  It will take
several hundred generations before something "interesting" begins
to emerge.  As such, it seems more a curiousity than having any
practical use.
