Follow-up Comment #10:

I checked in a change on stable that does most of what was asked for
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/2fc43288a6c4).  

Unpack no longer hangs because the '-f' switch is supplied to both gzip and
bzip (I figured it was better to be consistent even though bzip doesn't
require it).

I couldn't use the '-k' switch to keep-around the archive because that is a
new gzip addition and not all Linux distros ship with a new enough version. 
So that remains a difference between Octave and Matlab.  We could open up a
separate Matlab Compatibility report about that.

The calculation of the output dir changed from the original patch because I
found it was putting all unpacked files in the current directory rather than
the directory where the archive resides.
