As Kevin pointed out, the Schwartz set is actually the union of all 
minimal such sets, because (unlike for Smith) that's not the same thing 
as just one such minimal set.

At https://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Beatpath_example_12 there is an 
example where the Schwartz set has two components ({A,B,C,D} and {E}). 
Could you test your software on it?
