New release of Octave GUI.

New Features:
* Autoconfiscated (see below)
* New File menu/Files tab semantics. You can no longer open multiple editor
on the same file. Doing so brings the existing editor to the front and give=
s
it the focus.

Bug Fixes:
* I forget, but there were some.

Caveat:
I just autoconfiscated Octave GUI, which means that I'm no longer using the
QT qmake, and I'm also not really using mkoctfile. Concretely, it means tha=
t
to build you now do

./configure
make

instead of

qmake
make

Bypassing qmake makes getting compilation options tricky for me, and since
this is new it's likely some of you will have trouble building. Well, some
of you will have trouble building regardless, but this is an added
possibility. If it's having a hard time finding the QT directories, then yo=
u
can help it with --with-qt-dir=3D/path/to/Qt-4.1.0. However, if that direct=
ory
doesn't contain lib/, bin/ and include/, you're in trouble. Please let me
know of any such configurations, because I'm going to have to do something
to the makefiles to take them into account. For instance, it's not unlikely
that distros would stick the Qt-4.1.0/lib/libQtCore.so straight into
/usr/local/lib/Qt-4.1.0/libQtCore.so and that would be annoying.
