Dynamic package loading

Description
This example shows how to work with dynamic package loading in order to allow endusers to modify the definition of an optimization problem without disclosing the actual model source:
  1. Compile the package template in usrpkgtempl.mos into usrpkg.bim
  2. Compile the main model in foliomipusrpkg.mos
  3. Share the BIM files and the source of usrpkgtempl.mos with end users
  4. Compile the completed package in usrpkg.mos
  5. Run the compiled model (without recompilation) in foliomipusrpkg.bim with the new version of the package in usrpkg.bim

   Modeling a small MIP problem to perform portfolio optimization.

      user constraint definition via package 'usrpkg' --
   
   This example shows how to work with dynamic package loading
   in order to allow 3rd party users to modify the definition
   of an optimization problem without disclosing the actual
   model source:

   1- Compile the package template and the main model
      (the package BIM needs to be on the search path for Mosel
      libraries, eg. as specified via the MOSEL_BIM or MOSEL_DSO
      environment variables, or contained in the 'dso' folder of
      the Xpress distribution)
          mosel comp usrpkgtempl.mos -o usrpkg.bim
          mosel comp foliomipusrpkg.mos
   2- Hand out the BIM files and the source of the package
      template to the enduser, the BIM can be run as is:
          mosel run foliomipusrpkg.bim
   3- A modified version of the package can be provided by replacing
      the package BIM file on the search path, without any need to
      recompile the main model:
          mosel comp usrpkg.mos
          mosel run foliomipusrpkg.bim
