The recent changes to nargin in CVS broke code in the octave-forge 
legend function that uses the syntax:
nargin--
This now gives the following result:
error: evaluating postfix operator `--' near line 137, column 11

Replacing this statement with "nargin = nargin-1" works, but if this 
syntax is used anywhere else, it will break.
