I should have checked what Matlab does.

hc1 =          173

hc2 =          173

Thus Octave's present implementation shoud not delete colorbar replace  
it with a new one, but should update it.

When given a new location, a second colorbar is created.

>> hc3 = colorbar('westoutside')

hc3 =          203

I did not expect this behavior. The fix should be trivial. I'll look  
at it.
