The rule in C++ is that non-type-safe conversions must be done explicitly.
Conversion from pointer to void is always non-type-safe.

You're asking our benefactor for a lot of work to little purpose.
As noted earlier, glpk can easily be linked with C++.

I haven't tinkered with the B&B code, but most of my numerical code
involves driving glpk from C++.
