Hey.
I am trying to do this with one package from octave-forge, at the
moment the statistics package is the one I am fiddling in and it is
going ok but I am having some problems with the pkg.m file so I can't
test the package I have made. Once I have that sorted out I can start
to work on the packaging of the forge code again. This will take a
long time since I am supposed to be working on my master thesis :-)
Best regards
Oli
