This looks fine from my perspective.  System function
'abort' and not 'exit' as I wrote -- it was a while since I
looked at the GLPK source.  I am in no great hurry to use
this feature so it doesn't have to be in the next release.
You may need to expand on the use of 'info' in the
documentation (void* is not often used in C++).

many thanks.  Robbie
