I am very glad to hear that odepkg functions are revised on the sparated 
project.  However, if the support of the odepkg package is stopped at 4.0.0 
release, many people will be disappointed.

The odepkg package on the mercurial repository can be compiled on octave 
4.0.0-rc2 with small patch to src/Makefile by JohnD.

Please allow me to push the temporal release of the odepkg package on the 
current mercurial repository for upcoming octave release of 4.0.0.
