I think this was mentioned before, but I thought I'd bring it up again 
(without having spent any significant time actually testing it). Someone 
suggested a verbose option for pkg so that compilation is not done 
silently. I would want the Fedora octave packaging scripts to use such 
an option in case something fails when submitted to a remote build queue 
to make debugging easier.
