I've got a bug (already) and a question. The bug is a small one in the 
texinfo help in mex.m that creates an error when you type "help mex". 
The question is regarding the mex implementation in octave-forge. Does 
the new mex stuff you included in this release basically supersede what 
ever was in octave-forge? I was planning on removing the mex stuff from 
the next Fedora release of octave-forge in favor of what's included in 
2.9.7, but I figured maybe it's time to just clean out that directory. 
Also, is there any reason not to include a mex shell script like the one 
that octave-forge has?
