This solution won't work for me for a couple of reasons:

1. I'm not using just Windows.  (Linux, FreeBSD, Mac, and Windows).

2. The bigger issue is that my models are not set in stone.  They are 
created by my users, and I programmatically convert them to LP format, 
to be solved by any solver they happen to have installed in their setup. 
 Any manual editing or conversion of a model is a no-go.

Again, any IDE or GUI is a no-go.  As far as my users are concerned, 
this has to be done automagically.  I'm guessing from your answers that 
there is currently no programmatic way to do what I need.

Having looked through the GLPK code, I have a pretty good idea of what 
needs to be done.  (That's a kudos to the cleanliness of the GLPK code, 
by the way!)  As I mentioned before, I'm happy to code a patch. 
However, if the developers are dead-set against it, it's a waste of my 
time to code it up.  Would a CSV patch be welcomed by the GLPK devs?
