Sorry, I did not notice that. Yes, if the mip presolver is enabled,
there is no need to call glp_simplex.

However, to obtain mip solution components you need to use api
routine glp_mip_col_val rather than glp_get_col_prim (the latter
retrieves basic lp solution, not mip solution).

That message means constructing an initial basis. In glpk 4.39 (which
is the most recent version) it was replaced by a more friendly message.
