 I've just set up t2.math after Williams screwed it by removing the NFS
 shares it depends on. I've not announced it yet, since I have not fully
 built Sage (it's building ATLAS now). But hopefully that situation will
 not exist any longer.

 Well, personally I don't think testing the '''new''' functionality should
 be left to a TODO. There's not a single test of the GLPK working with
 CVXOPT. We have made changes to allow them to be used together, but not
 tested that they actually work. I think that's bad practice myself.

 Would it take you long to write a few doctests which show how to use GLPK
 with CVXOPT?
