Noted a bunch of pkg fixed when doing hg -v update

Trying build_packages.m on a freshly built MXE Window binary gives a few minor
yet showstopper errors.

First one concerns a stray closing parenthesis:


pkg ('install', 'general-1.3.2.tar.gz')
parse error near line 175 of file
X:\Octave\octave-3.7.5_MXE\share\octave\3.7.5\m\pk
g\private\install.m

  syntax error

>>>                         dep.package " " dep.operator " " dep.version
"\n"]);
                                                   ^

error: called from:
error:   X:\Octave\octave-3.7.5_MXE\share\octave\3.7.5\m\pkg\pkg.m at line
392, column 9
error:   X:\Octave\octave-3.7.5_MXE\src\build_packages.m at line 3, column 1
>>



Then we get a lacking comma:


pkg ('install', 'general-1.3.2.tar.gz')
parse error near line 50 of file
X:\Octave\octave-3.7.5_MXE\share\octave\3.7.5\m\pkg\private\configure_make.m

  syntax error

>>>         flags = [flags ' AR="' mkoctfile("-p" "AR") '"'];
                                                   ^
error: called from 'install' in file
X:\Octave\octave-3.7.5_MXE\share\octave\3.7.5\m\pkg\private\install.m near
line 192, column 7
>>


(seems to also apply to L.53)

After fixing these three syntax errors pkg.m works fine.

My cross-build box has just been shut down; if no one beats me to it I might
prepare a changeset tomorrow night at the earliest.
