The output produced by glpsol via '-o' is mainly intended for visual
analysis. I think it's better to provide a more convenient format for
that purpose (i.e. for processing solution by computer program).
For example, glpk has api routine to write solution in mps format,
and I could include it in glpsol (although mps format is not a good
choice :+). Have you got any idea?
