Follow-up Comment #6:

Thanks Kai, patch looks good, will try tonight.

At the time Olaf added the configure stuff I already had a hunch that it could
have been easier, but I lacked time to investigate and most of all: it just
worked. I'm still grateful anyway that Olaf made the change.

Shall / can I change

+#if OCTAVE_MAJOR_VERSION == 4 && OCTAVE_MINOR_VERSION < 4


into

+#if OCTAVE_MAJOR_VERSION <= 4 && OCTAVE_MINOR_VERSION < 4 


to also support ancient versions like 3.8? I saw bug reports for that version
not too long ago.
In several .m-files there are still constructs to allow them to work with even
older Octave versions.
As long as there are no real blockers, and code changes are limited as regards
coding itself plus performance, I have no issues with keeping up compatibility
with quite ancient Octave releases.
