It's been some time, but reading through my log of this conversation,
there were two competing implementations, one seemed more complete
than the other, and I asked for some tests that demonstrated the
correctness of the implementation. Preferrably of the more complete
one. It seems you only cared about one particular feature of GLPK,
whereas Tommaso had a more comprehensive patch that included yours as
a special case.

I don't understand GLPK and at the moment with the impending release I
don't want to spend time learning, but if you could please provide the
patch again and in the patch write some tests to demonstrate how it
works, I will be happy to push it, or perhaps someone else will.

Please submit the patch to our patch tracker so it's less likely to be
forgotten:

Octave 3.6 is about to be released, so I'm not sure if this feature
will make it in time for the release. We're right now in the
stabilising phase of the release, so I don't think this is a good time
to add new features to 3.6. It may have to wait until a future stable
release of Octave.
