[Coin-osi-devel] More params, glpk 4.9, mip gap

[Kendall Bailey]

I'm preparing to submit an AMPL driver program to the COIN project,
based on OSI solvers.  I've added a boolean attribute to the OsiGlpk
class to select the branch and bound routine to invoke.  My goal is to
simply expose as much solver functionality to AMPL as I can.  I've
made the AMPL driver (I'm calling it 'coinamp' similar to ILOGs
'cplexamp') makefile able to disable the use of the new boolean, so
when I submit the code others can build it against a stock OsiGlpk. 
Do you have plans to make the lpx_intopt() function callable from
OsiGlpk's branchAndBound()?  Do you want a patch?  Is lpx_intopt()
always better than lpx_integer() and OsiGlpk should just switch over?

Thanks,
Kendall Bailey
