Follow-up Comment #7:

Lachlan, I added your implementation of mahal to the statistics package:

  http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/statistics/rev/b63b78a1c3e8

as well as your improvement to core's mahalanobis.

That function is now deprecated in core, so I'm adding Arno so he can decide
about what better way to have it the statistics package if he wants to.

Arno, the way I have handled this type of stuff the image and mapping package
is with a configure check and renaming the functions with the extension
".m.in" . If the functions already exists, then it does nothing and pkg
ignores the .in files. Otherwise it removes the .in file extension, and pkg
will install them.
