Sorry, I ran cvs commit but forgot to add first.  They should be there
now.

Yes, I understand the transition problem, but I hope that if Octave
starts to include code from octave-forge, that the octave-forge
routines will eventually be removed (assuming the Octave versions do
everything we need for octave-forge).

At this point, my intent for adopting functions is that if they are in
octave-forge for compatibility with the base Matlab, I would like to
see them moved into the core Octave distribution.  Likewise, some of
the current functions in the core Octave distribution should be moved
out to separate packages.
