Details:

The attached patch modifies msgbox/errordlg/warndlg/message_dialog to
recognize the CreateMode argument and display a warning (and ignore it,
instead of returning an error).

Another difference with MATLAB is that the returned value is not a figure
handle. It also blocks the programme execution while this is done separately
with MATLAB using uiwait().

Is there a specific reason, apart from historical, that these functions are
not implemented as pure Octave code? It would make it easier to implement, eg,
custom icons.
