New description:

 Certain types of linear problems can be more efficiently solved with
 algorithms more specialized than the simplex algorithm. An example of such
 problems is a mincost problem. The GLPK provides a set of graph / network
 algorithms which currently have got not interface to Sage.

 This patch implements a new backend intended to provide access to the GLPK
 graph / network routines. The initial implementation should provide an
 interface to

  * glp_mincost_okalg - Solving mincost problems with the out-of-kilter
 algorithm
  * glp_maxflow_ffalg - Solving maxflow problems with the Ford-Fulkerson
 algorithm
  * glp_cpp - Solving critical path problems

 In addition it provides support for reading and writing problem data to
 files

 Apply :
     * [attachment:trac_13698_glpk_graph_routv2.patch]
     * [attachment:trac_13698-rev.patch]
     * [attachment:trac_13698-rev2.patch]
