  * status:  new => needs_info


Comment:

 * mipvariables is private because it is just meant to update the
 variable's name on the (rare) occasions when the users do nto want to
 solve the LP but want to export it to a LP file ( in which case the
 variables are expected to "mean" something, and not to be x_1 x_2 x_3
 etc...

       On which occasion do you think the user may be interested in getting
 the list of the variables ? I thought the only important thing was for the
 user to have one way to refer to them, but getting a variable "back" would
 not tell him what this variable means...

     * Well, it is because the user can set variables to a type he chooses
 by using p.set_binary or p.set_integer, etc... Do you think they should be
 renamed to be public ?

 I know there are many ugly parts in this code that needs to be corrected,
 and I can not do this alone, as it needs different views to be improved...
 Thank you for your help !! :-)
