[Couenne] Reading couenne.opt

That is a way to develop Bonmin applications. In order to build a  
Couenne application, you should specialize BonCouenne.cpp,  
BonCouenneSetup.*, and BonCouenneInterface.* in the directory  
Couenne/src/main. If you have the trunk version of Couenne, you may  
also want to have a look at Couenne.cpp, which has a more flexible way  
to configure the solver and the solver interface. The option file  
couenne.opt is read by readOptionsFile(), which is called by  
CouenneSetup::InitializeCouenne() in BonCouenneSetup.cpp.

I think you should start from the Makefile.am and BonCouenne.cpp or  
Couenne.cpp in that directory. Makefile and Makefile.in are  
automatically generated, and it is usually not suggested to modify  
them directly.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Pietro
