/**
    @TODO
      - Fix interface so that solvers define status messages. We
        should not be stuck with one standard set that all solvers
        must deal with.

      - Reimplement old code to detect linear coefficients and use
        in conopt hookup.

      - Implement better communication routines.

      - Give more contol to interface (ex. turn off error counting,
        switch from we alocate to conopt allocates, etc.).

      - Record marginal values and make available to user.

      - Set up interface such that any variable can be selected and
        either maximized or minimized.

      - Get rid of our Jacobian calculation routine and stuff conopt's
        workspace directly (in unsorted order). This will require
        rewriting the scaling functions. (This code really should
        not be in the solver)

      - Fix up restart code...we don't keep track of which values
        change so must update entire Jacobian and residual vector
        but may save some time by not having to redo column pointers etc.

      - Implement a way to bailout...check for ^C and tell conopt to
        return as soon as possible.

      - Currently will not take problem like MIN x^2...it will complain
        about empty rows.  Must formulate as y=x^2; MIN y; until we
        fix the way we handle objectives.
