#C From thin.rle (left side of pattern):
#C This table shows the minimum possible width of those types of
#C  spaceships for which this has been determined.  The width is
#C  measured over all time, so that, for example, the width of a
#C  LWSS is counted as 5 even though each individual phase has
#C  width 4.
#C A period p spaceship which displaces itself (m,n) during its
#C  period, where m >= n, is said to be of type (m,n)c/p.
#C  the "width" of a non-orthogonal spaceship is considered to be
#C  along the same direction as that of the least displacement.
#C  For example, the width of a (2,1)c/6 spaceship is parallel
#C  to the direction of travel that is 1 cell per period.
#C For each type I also give the minimum known length for a spaceship
#C  of minimal width.  The length here is defined as the length of the
#C  union of n successive generations (where n is the period), the
#C  starting generation being chosen to minimise this figure.
#C Lengths marked with an asterisk (*) indicate that they are the
#C  minimum possible for the given width.
#C For types where the minimum width is not known, the maximum width
#C  that has been fully searched is given, preceded by ">".
