Details:

I`m debugging a port from qtfm (matlab classref style) to octave.
this requires

addpath /home/wrosner/qtfm

When I try to set breakpoints in a file lower in this path, I encounter an
Error message like follows (retranslated from German, screen shot attached)
"/home/wrosner/qtfm/@octonions/s.m is missing in the search path.
To debug this function, you can change to this directory or add directory to
search path"

When I do either, qtfm will not work any more, presumably since it does a lot
of shadowing builtin functions.

Proposed solutions
- recursive search
- allow independent extensions for debugger search path

octave Build:
4.1.0+ from hg repo
default branch
checkout 2014-12-13
