I apologise for the late reply (things are really hectic for me, so there is little time for Octave). If Prof. LeSage is not willing to accept the changes you would like to make (MPI, etc.) and you are willing to maintain a fork here at Octave-Forge then I am not against this. In general, I think forking is bad unless it is truly needed. But I am not in a position to decide what is reasonable in the given situation, so I'll have to let you decide.
