Okay, rational understood.  Unfortunately for my use case and need, I 
would need this functionality to be in the core GLPK distribution.  (I 
work with folks with whom I'm only loosely affiliated, and our 
commonalities are the LPWriter program and another solution reader 
program.  Asking them all to install a program I wrote along these lines 
wouldn't be feasible, but asking the maker of the LPWriter et al. suite 
to fully support GLPK's machine readable formats is more feasible.)

Thanks for the info.  (And really, thanks for the excellent work that is 
GLPK.  It really is a joy to work with; on other projects that do 
warrant personal hacking of GLPK, your code quality is much appreciated.)
