I just tried again the performances of GLPK against COIN-OR with a new
option I had not noticed before, and the difference is now only of
2 : 1
It is a bit better than the 30 : 1 found with the previous example and
perhaps it will let me code the algorithms I needed without waiting
for COIN-OR to get implemented ( which could take some time after all
considering your answers... ;-) )

Sorry !!!
