[SCIP] Installing SCIP on Windows with ZIMPL, SoPlex, Ipopt

[Matthias Miltenberger]

Dear Simon,

if you really don't want to leave the comfort of your Windows 10 
environment, I can recommend WSL:
     https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
This allows to just call for example `sudo apt-get install zlib`. I 
prefer this over MSYS/Cygwin/MinGW, although your mileage may vary.
In general though, Linux will provide the best experience concerning 
installation with all the third party dependencies.
Please understand that we cannot give you in-depth instructions on how 
to setup your system.

The information on the slides you found is quite outdated, 
unfortunately. We will try to provide a better Windows package in the 
future that also contains ZIMPL. Sorry about that.

Cheers
Matthias
