Thank you for your interest in glpk.

The problem is that these features are non-standard.
Glpk implementation is mainly based on the IBM OSL document, Section
"Passing Your Model Using Mathematical Programming System (MPS) Format",
which does not include such features. And I could not find appropriate
specification.

I think a better solution is to pass necessary information like
the objective row or optimization sense as parameters to the solver.
