My idea is that if I am working on a large-ish project (like
population forecasting for the USA), I like to have a nightly cronjob
test everything; it is the next best thing to a daily compile check/
build farm thing.

I wasn't using it for Octave packages per se, just my own projects.
Since I have nested hierarchies in a modeling project, I want the
recursive thing.

Thanks again JWE and Co!
