Having looked at it, I think we might be better of with a fresh
pkg-octave/octave3.0/trunk
directory (ie, not using the slicing with an in/ directory). The patches
to octave2.1 and octave2.9 have no intersection and the double work we
might have at the beginning of the 3.0/3.1 series is (imo) outweighted
by the simplicity later on.
Objections?
