 Hi,

 the idea to creat a libcoinhsl.a with no objects in there seem to be a
 nice idea to deal with an absent HSL library, and it seem to work well on
 Linux systems.

 However, when I build Ipopt with MUMPS instead of HSL on a Sun-machine
 with Intel CPU, SunOS sol10vm 5.11, and gnu compiler 4.3.0, the
 libcoinhsl.a is not created and building of Ipopt is failing.

 My solution to get around this is to create an empty libcoinhsl.a by hand
 (create a libcoinhsl.a with some content and then delete this content from
 it again), put it into !ThirdParty/HSL/.libs, and to run make again.
 However, this does not seem to be an elegant solution ;-).

 Best,
 Stefan
