| Updated patch to Octave CVS (2001-02-02) for ISO C++ conformance, as

| Checked on following systems:
|   
|   SPARC Solaris 2.8 -- GCC 2.95.2 and Sun Workshop 5.0 (fully patched)
|   Linux/GNU (RH 6.2) -- GCC 2.97, GCC 2.95.2 and EGCS 1.1.2.
| 
| Using Sun's licensed performance library and BLAS implementation has
| some interesting implications for the testsuite, and I'll send a 
| separate message on that later. Good old precision issue.
| 
| Generated files not included as usual.

OK.  I included these patches except

  * I skipped these changes:

      2001-02-03  Mumit Khan  <khan at nanotech dot wisc dot edu>

	      * CColVector.cc, CMatrix.cc, CRowVector.cc, CmplxSCHUR.cc,
	      lo-mappers.cc, lo-specfun.cc: Add std:: namespace qualifier as 
	      needed.

    because I added a set of forwarding functions to
    liboctave/oct-cmplx.h.  For now, I think that's the better way to
    go, since it allows us to easily handle the case where we might
    want to define our own complex data type instead of using
    complex<double>.

  * I also skipped this change:

      2001-02-03  Mumit Khan  <khan at nanotech dot wisc dot edu>

	      * Makefile.in (DLD_XSRC): Remove debug.cc.

    That file should now be checked in to the CVS archive.  It is part
    of a patch by Ben Sapp to implement some basic interactive
    debugger features for the interpreter.

  * I used

      #if defined (CXX_ISO_COMPLIANT_LIBRARY)
        ...

    instead of

      #if CXX_ISO_COMPLIANT_LIBRARY
        ...

    because I believe it is possible for CXX_ISO_COMPLIANT_LIBRARY to
    be undefined, not just a true/false value.

These changes should be checked in the the CVS tree as soon as I
finish recompiling to make sure I haven't misapplied something.

Thanks,
