[Cbc] [Clp] GNUMath Prog

[Michal Kaut]

Just a question about the level of GMPL support: last time I tried, only 
Symphony parsed also the reporting parts of the .mod files (printing of 
the results etc) - Cbc simply ignored them.
Has it improved now? And if not, are there any plans to do it? (Solving 
a problem does not really help, if one cannot print the results 
afterwards..)

Regards,
Michal
