I am just wondering whether we could add a test suite to the octaviz package.
The build daemons could run it without an X-Window server through xvfb.  You
probably know how to do it, but here is an example:

    $ cat test-xvfb.m
    plot (randn(10,1));
    print ("test-xvfb.eps", "-depsc");
    $ (unset DISPLAY ; xvfb-run octave test-xvfb.m)
    $ ls -l test-xvfb.eps
