Thank you for your bug report and the patch provided!

Starting from the version 3.1 glpk has a new set of api routines, and
the old api routines (prefixed with 'glp_') are no longer supported.
Moreover, in the version 3.2 (which I plan to release on the next week)
the old api routines were removed at all, because all necessary
additions were made and now the new api provides all the functions,
which were provided by the old api, in particular, there is the routine
lpx_write_mps, which replaces glp_write_mps.

The main reason of all these changes is the data structures, on which
the old api is based, don't allow efficiently implementing many
important functions (like, for example, row/column generation,
re-optimization, post-optimal analysis, etc.) that prevents futher
development of the package. That's why the new api was implemented.
