How do you play sikaku?

Another Japanese logic puzzle, with this one you need to divide the grid into rectangles (as opposed to heyawake which has a grid already split into rectangles).

There are numbers in the grid in certain cells. Each rectangle must contain the number of cells specified by a number given on the grid, eg a '2' on the grid indicates that there is a region of 2 cells, 9 a region of nine and so forth.

Using logic alone you must determine the shape of each of the rectangular regions that the grid is sub-divided into. Good luck!
