[Wien] mini with constraints?

I am currently working on adding linear constraints to MSR1a [1]. Hence I
would like to know about how/if people have used them with mini, so I can
make it compatible.

Or...try and design it so it has a better interface. Adding a long string
of numbers to case.constraint is not very user friendly, but someone might
have written some interface code to make it simpler.

[1] Ax=b, where A is a matrix, b a vector and x are the positions.
