Something seems to be wrong with building the tarball from the current 
hg tip.  The commands:

   hg clone http://www.octave.org/hg/octave
   cd octave
   ./bootstrap
   ./configure
   make dist-xz

give the error message:

 CXX libinterp/dldfcn/libinterp_dldfcn___delaunayn___la-__delaunayn__.lo
 In file included from libinterp/dldfcn/__delaunayn__.cc:48:0:
 ./liboctave/util/oct-locbuf.h:26:27: fatal error: octave-config.h: No such file or directory
 compilation terminated.

Am I missing something here?
