[Couenne] Could Couenne accept a known feasible solution

[Suyun Liu]

Hi Pietro,

Appreciate for your response very much. As far as I know, when constructing
a model through Pyomo and writing it to the .nl file,  the so-called*
primal initial guess* is then indicated in that file. Does that mean
Couenne will ignore the primal initial guess (a possibly feasible solution)
in the .nl file?

Best Regards,
Suyun
