Qhull isn't distributed with Octave and the Octave project only
disributes source code, so I'm not sure what you are expecting us to
do.  If you want someone who distributes binary packages of Octave to
build binaries in a specific way or to update their Qhull library,
then I think you should contact them directly.

For Fedora users: the 1.1 update is now in FC12 updates-testing.  The
yum upgrade doe not work  because it leaves the old .so library
in /usr/lib64 (or, I assume in /usr/lib for 32bit systems).  If this is deleted
and replaced with a link to the new one, it works and the lu test passes.
