but on the other hand, why is the location of solver and workdir
hardcoded anyway?  so it looks like if the configure just allows to set
the WORKDIR and SOLARVER (and SOLARVERSION...) variables, then i can put
my solver in /tmp/testsolver, and perhaps you can too :)

so i've added a --with-solver-and-workdir-root to do that on master.
