Don't worry, if its useful matlab will implement it with an incompatible
interface. And Muthu, I don't think either Paul or I decide in anyway
what should go in octave-forge. Its supposed to be easily accessible for
development and so package quality is expected to be variable.

Please read the file www/new_developer.html in the CVS after doing

./configure; make; cd www; make

on the CVS for instructions of how to write to the new package manager
specifications in octave-forge. I hope this will get to the website
soon, but that's up to Soren, or me (someone else?) getting the time to
finalize some of the issues (building proper from the built INDEX files
(fixed?), linking correctly to the download page for the individual
packages, including any additional documentation for a package in the
package webpage)

Also, I think the best way to handle the importation of code into
octave-forge is to let you do it yourself. Then the support issue is
yours :-) .... You don't have an octave-forge account as far as I can
see. What is your source-forge ID so I can add it?
