Arggggg... Well, this interface is being rewritte anyway. I had a lot of
things to do during the previous week (job application) but I should find
some time to take care of these nasty patches in the next days :-)

They are ! It is actually part of Sage's source code :
http://hg.sagemath.org/sage-main/file/c239be1054e0/sage/numerical/backends

And you will find at the bottom of this page the instructions to use CPLEX
with Sage :

http://www.sagemath.org/doc/thematic_tutorials/linear_programming.html

Note that the latest version of CPLEX requires an additional symbolic link.
The previous page has not been updated since this ticket is still waiting
for review :

Hmmm... O_o

Well, I do not understand what you mean by "parallelize the objective
functions", but if you try to implement something at some point I guess it
will be the kind of stuff that gets me interested immediately :-)
