Hi,

after a discussion 
here: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/cvxopt/xQ-lR9ESijg/discussion
it turns out that there is enough CHOLMOD interface already in Sage, it's 
just not documented properly.
Should I volunteer to get sparse  Cholesky implemented for non-exact sparse 
Sage matrices, via this route?
