    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Trying to test an individual built in function gives something like


>> test min
????? min is a built-in function


The attached patch allows this to work when run from the build directory
(either through ./run-octave or, I presume, after installing).  It simply
checks if the .cc-tst file corresponding to  which min  exists, and if so,
tests it.
