I fixed addpath in octave-forge.

The posted change is considerably different in that I made the 
interface compatible (i.e., only allow -begin/-end flag as the last 
parameter) and I used rmpath to purge duplicates.  rmpath had some bugs 
which are now fixed.  I added test cases.

If you want this code in Octave there are a number of things which need 
to be done, including using texinfo format on rmpath and using octave 
coding standards throughout.
