The bit at the end saying "Eventually, a Fink package will be available.
However, that will require a new gcc-4.2 package that includes
gfortran." isn't correct.  Our existing octave builds using our gcc44
compiler rather than Xcode.

What's holding up official Fink updates is a lack of my time (much of
which is occupied using octave for analysis and I don't want to break my
scripts in the process--octcdf didn't get along with Octave-3.2 in my
testing).
