TITLE		Local optimization

OCCURRENCE	ARB_PARSIMONY/Tree/Tree Optimization/Recursive NNI
                ARB_PARSIMONY/<NNI-mode-button>

DESCRIPTION     Locally optimizes (parts of) the current tree.

                When called from the 'Tree optimization' window, the optimization is always
                applied to the whole tree. When called via LINK{mode_nni.hlp}, it depends on
                where you click to.
                The settings from LINK{pa_optimizer.hlp} are used to select
                the branches to optimize (e.g. marked and/or visible only).

                At each such branch, this optimization attempts one NNI (see LINK{nni.hlp}).
                If the tree topology improves by that modification, it will be kept.
                Otherwise it will be undone.

                If a better topology has been found, the recursion starts again (and again...)
                until no NNI further improved the tree (see LINK{mode_nni.hlp} for exceptions).
