 Replying to [comment:22 ncohen]:

 > Well.... The main reason is that if I make no mistake Clp is their
 *linear* solver and Cbc their *integer* solver. So if we switch to
 OsiClpSolverInterface I guess we immediately loose the ability to solve
 integer programs `O_o` Nathann

 This was a question I had in mind, by the way. Doesn't MILP return float()
 answers? In fact, I've often found it to return non-integer answers, so
 that in some of my code, I've had to hack a way to create approximate
 rational answers (which will suffice for my purposes).

 I understand your problem, and I'll ask with them. One option that would
 work for me would be to create a separate Clp interface, and work with
 that. I guess that in this case, we couldn't package it with Coin.
