I also think this is a great summer project and would definitely
encourage you to submit a proposal for this project. I would also
strongly recommend that spend some time investigating other LP solver
libraries and compare/contrast your approach to these as part of your
proposal. This will help give you (and us) more perspective on design
alternatives.

Hartmut, I can't invite mentors for a couple of days. the GSoC folks
have managed to disable that feature while they roll out a new version
of their web app. Should be sometime toward the end of the week that I
can start sending out invitations.
