[Couenne] Counne Options on Neos Solvers & Couenne solver on Windows OS

[Pietro Belotti]

Thanks Ashu for addressing the first issue. On the second, there has been 
an overdue update to the homepage. You can find binaries for both Windows 
and Linux at

http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/Couenne/

The option file for Windows should be the same as that for Linux (or 
Neos). Hope this helps.

Best,
Pietro
