Comment (by ncohen):

 Helloooooooo John !!

 > While working on this tonight, I realized that mip.pyx expects the
 `timelimit` parameter for both CPLEX and GLPK to be in seconds. To get
 around this, I added a new parameter, `timelimit_intopt` and
 `timelimit_simplex`; these accept milliseconds.

 Hmmm... Why do you name this parameter timelimit_intopt or
 timelimit_simplex and not timelimit_seconds, or something like that ? What
 does it specifically have to do with simplex or intopt ? I think it would
 be better to have only one parameter for timelimit, and if you think that
 milliseconds are better what about having only one parameter which accepts
 milliseconds ? By the way, it is already possible to define the timelimit
 up to milisecond with this argument. The code actually multiplies the
 input by 1000 before updating GLPK's value `:-)`
