I only mentioned this since Martin has posted his code to this list, and
the h...@octave list. Since Martin is fairly new to the community I
thought it should be mentioned that if he wants his code in the core of
Octave, then he should post his stuff at the maintainer list.

I'm not sure which place is the right place. In the end, I think Martin
should decide this. It all depends on where he wants his code.

I just remember one of the Debian guys saying that it was a pain that we
had so many packages. From the top of my head, I'd say that
'special-matrix' and 'Struct' are pretty good candidates for being
merged with other packages.
