  IDivergenceController provides methods to create new 
  solver processes based on the current divergence of
  deliveries, movements, simumlation movements.

  IDivergenceController must be provided by 
  movements, deliveries and by the SolverTool.
  Actual implementation should be handled by SolverTool.

  Whenever movement is not provided, IDivergenceController 
  instances should use the most appropriate document 
  such as self for a delivery movement. 

  Whenever divergence_tester is not provided, all
  applicable divergences are considered.
