# Octave variables:
#
#       OCTAVE                  Path to default octave executable.  Will use
#                               to determine the version.
#       OCTAVE_VERSION          Full version of octave (X.X.X).  Used in 
#                               Makefiles to indicate if we are building 
#                               the octave language bindings.  The empty
#                               string indicates octave is not available.
#       OCTAVE_VERSION_MAJOR    Single verion number of octave.  Used in 
#                               rappture.env scripts to indicate how to set 
#                               OCTAVE_PATH and OCTAVE_LOADPATH variables.
#       MKOCTFILE               Path to the default octave compiler.  This
#                               variable isn't used directly.  Either 
#                               MKOCTFILE2 or MKOCTFILE3 will be set to its
#                               value.
#       MKOCTFILE2              Path to octave version 2 compiler.
#       MKOCTFILE3              Path to octave version 3 compiler.
