[Ipopt] conditional gradient

[Stefan Vigerske]

Hi,

I don't think I can really help here and you probably found this 
already, but a good starting point is to look into the
AlgorithmBuilder::BuildBasicAlgorithm() function and the functions that 
are called from there. This puts together the algorithm that Ipopt is 
executing and there you should probably add in your own extensions.
Overwriting PDSystemSolver does not sound good.
