On second thoughts this is not such a good idea, as the names of some of 
the elements of the structures in CXSparse have also changes; For 
example "Pinv" became "pinv", "Q" became "q", etc. And so I'd also need 
macros to represent all of these arguments. Perhaps it is better to keep 
the patch as I originally sent it and assume that in a few months we 
will require CXSparse v2.0..
