There was the issue of passing the first arg to the concat function as
non-const so that it could be used direct, like

NDArray
concat (NDArray& ra, const NDArray& rb, const Array<int>& ra_idx)
{
  if (rb.numel () > 0)
    ra.insert (rb, ra_idx);
  return ra;
}

rather than what is current done that makes an unecessary copy. This is
a pretty trival change, which you asked me to do but I haven't had the
time, mainly due to the fact that it implies a complete recompile. Its 
probably worth having it for 2.1.61 though, especially if you are going
to call 2.1.61 the testing version.
