This work is being pushed upstream into OpenCV (the tree is huge,
configure is nontrivial, etc). I guess it would make sense to have a
debian/rpm package akin to python-opencv, and to have the OpenCV
Windows installer optionally install an Octave package. Can someone
with familiarity of Windows/Octave suggest how best to do this?
