As the maintainer of SYMPHONY, I'm definitely interested in your AMPL 
driver. I've wanted to develop one, but haven't had the chance. I'm sure 
that there will be general interest in this if you make it available and 
continue to develop it, but it's a bit difficult to answer your question 
about desired features without first playing around with it. Would you 
be interested in making it available through COIN? If so, I can talk to 
you about it off-line.

Cheers,

Ted
