[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8783] C++ implementation of textscan

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #80, patch #8783 (project octave):

@Ben:
What is easiest appears to be a matter of taste :-) 
I figured that having a binary textscan as separate .oct file would be easiest
to debug as rebuilding Octave completely would obviously be more troublesome
than just rebuilding a stand-alone .oct file. Especially for Window where for
each tiny modification to an integrated textscan.cc, Octave:
- first has to be rebuilt in Linux ("make dist"),
- then cross built in mxe-octave, and then 
- installed on the Windows side.
For testing in Windows, that is still valid.
But as Octave seems to build fine on OSX these days it may well be moot for
that platform.
Anyway I think textscan.cc is now so good that I do not expect significant
code changes anymore. But you never know....

@Lachlan:
Removing textscan.m is indeed a good idea now :-)
I hope to have time tonight for cross-building & testing.

In the mean time I'll continue work on overhauling strread.m and textread.m.
