Sorry, I missed this message until now when I was looking to see what 
had happened with this change.

Yes, go ahead and apply the change.  Unfortunately, there may be some 
conflicts now as I see there was a recent change to strsplit.m to 
improve input argument checking.

I'm not sure about the name cstrsplit.  The cstrcat function was named 
that way because it behaves more like the C library function strcat, not 
because it is compatible with previous versions of Octave.  Maybe 
ostrsplit (o == old) instead?
