Hi Marc,

Are you using the GLPK plugin for SciLab?  What kind and size of LP/IP  
are you solving?  Given there's not a huge amount of interest, I might  
not do anything in a hurry, but I was thinking of some kind of pure  
lua variable/constraint/objective manipulation and then initially a  
pretty straightforward interface to CLP.  If that works, IP can come  
later...

Cheers,
Geoff
