New description:

 Split out from the larger ticket #10879. This ticket just adds an spkg,
 not the Cython interface.

 "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
  * SoPlex (the LP solver which is part of scipoptsuite) has an exact mode
 which is said to be working well
  * A beta version of SCIP can do exact MIP: http://scip.zib.de/#exact
 using qsopt_ex (see also #18766)

 However, the SCIP license prevents us from redistributing the SCIP source
 code:
 http://scip.zib.de/#license

 To build a SCIP for Sage do:

  * pull from this ticket
  * download the SCIP Optimisation Suite from
 http://scip.zib.de/download.php?fname=scipoptsuite-3.2.1.tgz
  * put tarfile scipoptsuite-3.2.1.tgz in `$SAGE_ROOT/upstream/`
  * `sage -f scipoptsuite`

Comment:

 It finally builds on Mac OS X.
 Needs testing / review.
