So it turns out that the 'database' package has already been removed
from our bundle.  'ann' has a patch that allows it to rebuild, and I
disabled 'ftp'.  This allows the build to get quite far, but it still
dies building the 'parallel' (version 2.0.0) package:

mkoctfile -s pserver.cc
pserver.cc:65: error: 'quitting_gracefully' was declared 'extern' and
later 'static' /usr/include/octave-3.2.2/octave/toplev.h:51: error: previous
declaration of 'quitting_gracefully'

I'm not sure if this is related to the SWIG problem or not.  Is this a
known issue?  The full build log is here:

Thanks, good to know.
