I replaced the old version of xtime by a new one, which does not call
xassert. The new version is configurable and attempts to use a native
time function, for example, gettimeofday on POSIX platforms. I also
added a new api routine glp_error_hook to install a user-defined hook
routine called from xerror before the latter calls abort; this feature
can be used to prevent abnormal termination caused by glpk api.
