What is needed is a small script that'll convert pkg.m into something 
that'll run in matlab (I hate that matlab isn't Octave compatible).
I think such a script already exist, but I don't really know.
I don't think we should change pkg.m to make it matlab compatible 
because that'll remove nice things such as texinfo documentation.

I don't if there is a need to relicense the code to a BSD license, but 
if it's okay with John, it's okay with.
