New description:

 "SCIP is currently one of the fastest non-commercial mixed integer
 programming (MIP) solvers. It is also a framework for Constraint Integer
 Programming and branch-cut-and-price. It allows total control of the
 solution process and the access of detailed information down to the guts
 of the solver." -- http://scip.zib.de/

 Features interesting to Sage:

  * SCIP is pretty fast for Mixed Integer Programming
  * SCIP is a Constraint Integer Programming solver and allows non-linear
 constraints
  * SCIP's source code is available
  * A beta version of SCIP can do exact MIP: http://scip.zib.de/#exact
 using qsopt_ex (see also #18766)

 However, we don't have the right to redistribute the SCIP source code.

 To build a SCIP for Sage do:

  * pull from this ticket
  * download the SCIP Optmisation Suite from
 http://scip.zib.de/download.php?fname=scipoptsuite-3.1.1.tgz
  * place the files `scip-3.1.1.tgz` and `soplex-2.0.1.tgz` in
 `$SAGE_ROOT/upstream/`
  * `sage -sh`
  * `cd $SAGE_ROOT/build/pkgs/scipoptsuite`
  * `./sage-install && sage -b`

 '''KNOWN ISSUES'''

  * Sage crashes when SCIP variables are printed with SIGSEGV on OSX. It
 works fine under Linux.
  * printing of quadratic constraints does not work yet.
