I've updated octave (Matlab "semi-clone") to 2.9.17 and made it the Linux
default. From my message to users:
Octave 2.9.17 has been installed for Linux and made the default. Unfortunately
it wouldn't build correctly on Suns so the default for that platform remains
2.9.9. Almost all of the octave-forge Toolboxes in the Main repository have
been included.
