I needed the following patch to get octave 2.1.27 to compile on my
i386-redhat-linux (glibc2.1) box. the patch applied without complaint
to 2.1.28 as well.



===File ~/mat/in/octave-2.1.27-time.patch===================
to get strptime, we need _XOPEN_SOURCE; to get the tm_zone field in
struct tm, we need _BSD_SOURCE
