We have the same problem for strcmp.

How about a once-per-session temporary warning, at least for the
change in the interface? It could be conditional on a global
variable, say __disable_fopen_interface_change__, which if it exists
(with any value) says to omit the warning? That way, people who want
to can disable the warning by adding
global __disable_fopen_interface_change__;
to their ~/.octaverc files. Eventually, we could remove the warning.
