> 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.

GLPK with CVXOPT?
I had them already written. :-) Please see and test the patch (tested on
Debian x64 and on your Sun).
