I believe 2.1.37 added support for varargin and cell arrays in a 
compatible way.

In older versions, you needed to do:
    function test(...), varargin=list(all_va_args);
with varargin{i} replaced by:
    nth(varargin,i)
and f(varargin{:}) replaced by:
     f(all_va_args).

In other news, the current CVS and yet to be released 2.1.41 adds 
support for x(end)  [loud cheers!] and local functions.
