Hello, you wonderful people.

I've updated the version of otags that came with Octave 2.0.14.  Would
you please consider updating the code base with this?  If you prefer me
to do it, then please let me know how.  Thanks.  /Jskud

#! /bin/sh -ue

# Generate a TAGS file from a set of Octave .m files for use with Emacs.
#
# Run as '$ otags' in the given Octave directory to generate a
# TAGS file.  If you want to include another directory, add a line
# prior to the "*.m" line containing something like
#  `--include=/path/to/other/directory/TAGS" \'.

# Tags are generated for function names and for global variables. For
# global variables it doesn't work for more than one line global
# variables.  :-(

# Tags are also created for lines of the form '###key foobar' so that
# you can jump to this specific place just by typing `M-. foobar'.
# Note that tags are not generated for scripts so that you have to add
# a line by yourself of the form `###key <script-name>' if you want to
# jump to it.  :-(
