HI Alex,

I’ve attached the scripts/patches I use to build the current developer’s 
sources. Maybe they will be helpful for updating Fink’s Octave to 4.0.0?

They work for me on Yosemite and expect they will also work on Mavericks. I’m 
worried that they will not work on earlier versions.

I use these files for development purposes only. Running “make install” would 
be a big mistake as it will likely corrupt the Fink installation.
