sockets

[Tom Holroyd]

I finally added the sockets package to the octave-forge CVS (in 
main/sockets).

This allows only fairly rudimentary socket support at the moment.
You can send byte strings back and forth.

The testing code uses num2str and so on, and there are some 
routines for serializing a matrix; the recent changes to int8() 
allowing strings would make that even easier. Eventually it 
should be changed to handle more types natively.
