I am still new to COIN to give any good suggestion on that. There is
another question from me though. I will study some interface
implementations as a reference for our code. I have access to osl as
well as cplex. Is it true that OsiOslSolverInterface is better
supported and updated than OsiCpxSolverInterface?
