This is a common question and you can search the email archives for more 
discussion. Start by setting t1 == t2 as t2 is the variable that 
controls the number of clusters produced. Then iterate to find a value 
that gives you the "right" number of clusters. Smaller values of t2 
yield larger numbers of clusters and visa-versa.
