 Replying to [comment:7 wdj]:
 > Nathann: Please do write up the paper Jason suggests. I would also be
 very interested.

 Nathann, you seem to be systematically writing LP where it should be ILP,
 or MILP, right?
 Please fix this.

 As well, you need to include meaningful examples: e.g. showing how to use
 your code to show that some well-known graph (say, Petersen) is not planar
 by finding a Kuratowski minor. It's not obvious that your code can handle
 this in reasonable time (I have had my share of using ILP for seemingly
 small problems, with very limited success).
 And, apart from planarity (planarity is easy algorithmically, so it has
 only theoretical interest here), few other real problems involving graph
 minors.
 And if the code cannot  do anything useful, it should not be included in
 Sage (not in the standard or optional part, anyway)

 I therefore change the status to "needs work"... (I wish we had anonymous
 reviewing, like in journals :-))
