licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License - e.g. MPIR recently
changed to that. Hence my comment this are "Sage compatible". Actually, I
think someone has changed that, as I doubt I would have started the
sentence with a lower case 's', but it's a minor point. I think the
license issue is a ''non-issue''.

incorporate my Solaris patch, so given this has ticket has been changed
from using version 1.1.2 to using 1.1.3, I'm puzzled that does not appear
to have happened.
They wanted to look into it, that's all. I guess this has become even more
irrelevant, as I don't even have a machine where to test this patch any
more. They are probably in the same position.
How about we upgrade this now, and then fix remaining issues in TODO in
new ticket(s)? I need this stuff, and I am sick and tired of extra manual
labour I need to do in order to use this version of cvxopt....

knowledge, there's not a single doc test showing any example of how to use
GLPK, so we have no idea of that functionality works at all.
