Although the package seems to work, the code in fixedpoint.m that
implements the test suite needs to be ported to Octave 3.6. For
instance, "ismatrix([])" returned 0 in 3.2 but returns 1 in 3.6. There
are many things to be fixed in that file but I have no time nor the
motivation for doing it. It would maybe be better to request the removal
of octave-fixed.
