You are absolutely right. I will consider producing two independent library
packages, one with MathPROG support and the other without. I do not know
whether this will be possible, though. In case it is possible, which naming
scheme would you suggested? We could have:
with MathPROG without MathPROG
1st option libglpk0 libglpk-light0
2nd option libglpk-mathprog0 libglpk0
Which would be better?
