COMMENTS
A configuration is a set of n-1 linear orderings <_1, .., <_(n-1) on {1..n}.
A reversion of an ordering is the ordering obtained by reversing every inequality in this ordering.
Two configurations are equivalent if they are equal up to:
- a permutation of <_1, .., <_(n-1)
- a permutation of {1..n}
- some reversions of orderings

EXAMPLE
For n=3, the a(3)=2 configurations up to equivalence are: (1 <_1 2 <_1 3; 1 <_2 2 <_2 3) and (1 <_1 2 <_1 3; 1 <_2 3 <_2 2).
