Thank you very much for your contribution.

I think to make no changes in the mip solver at least in a next release.
At first I'd like to finish the dual simplex routines (including your
patch from May 2016), and then inspect and implement your improvements
related to the mip solver.

BTW, how did you implement bfd_copy? I missed that.

Best regards,
