  /** Dual algorithm

         Method

        It tries to be a single phase approach with a weight of 1.0 being
        given to getting optimal and a weight of updatedDualBound_ being
        given to getting dual feasible.  In this version I have used the
        idea that this weight can be thought of as a fake bound.  If the
        distance between the lower and upper bounds on a variable is less
        than the feasibility weight then we are always better off flipping
        to other bound to make dual feasible.  If the distance is greater
        then we make up a fake bound updatedDualBound_ away from one bound.
        If we end up optimal or primal infeasible, we check to see if
        bounds okay.  If so we have finished, if not we increase updatedDualBound_
        and continue (after checking if unbounded). I am undecided about
        free variables - there is coding but I am not sure about it.  At
        present I put them in basis anyway.

        The code is designed to take advantage of sparsity so arrays are
        seldom zeroed out from scratch or gone over in their entirety.
        The only exception is a full scan to find outgoing variable for
        Dantzig row choice.  For steepest edge we keep an updated list
        of infeasibilities (actually squares).
        On easy problems we don't need full scan - just
        pick first reasonable.

        One problem is how to tackle degeneracy and accuracy.  At present
        I am using the modification of costs which I put in OSL and some
        of what I think is the dual analog of Gill et al.
        I am still not sure of the exact details.

        The flow of dual is three while loops as follows:

        while (not finished) {

          while (not clean solution) {

             Factorize and/or clean up solution by flipping variables so
         dual feasible.  If looks finished check fake dual bounds.
         Repeat until status is iterating (-1) or finished (0,1,2)

          }

          while (status==-1) {

            Iterate until no pivot in or out or time to re-factorize.

            Flow is:

            choose pivot row (outgoing variable).  if none then
        we are primal feasible so looks as if done but we need to
        break and check bounds etc.

        Get pivot row in tableau

            Choose incoming column.  If we don't find one then we look
        primal infeasible so break and check bounds etc.  (Also the
        pivot tolerance is larger after any iterations so that may be
        reason)

            If we do find incoming column, we may have to adjust costs to
        keep going forwards (anti-degeneracy).  Check pivot will be stable
        and if unstable throw away iteration and break to re-factorize.
        If minor error re-factorize after iteration.

        Update everything (this may involve flipping variables to stay
        dual feasible.

          }

        }

        TODO's (or maybe not)

        At present we never check we are going forwards.  I overdid that in
        OSL so will try and make a last resort.

        Needs partial scan pivot out option.

        May need other anti-degeneracy measures, especially if we try and use
        loose tolerances as a way to solve in fewer iterations.

        I like idea of dynamic scaling.  This gives opportunity to decouple
        different implications of scaling for accuracy, iteration count and
        feasibility tolerance.
