Yes well, there is a reason that the octave-forge website is there and
not on sourceforge yet.. That is that the package manager has some
issues until after 2.9.9.. It seems to be fine in the CVS, we will see
if it really is fine wen 2.9.10 comes out and more people start really
using the package manager..
