You should not have to specify F77="/usr/bin/gfortran". Other than that it 
looks like what I did.

Again, it may actually be possible to build a minimalist octave without FFTW at 
all. I haven't tried, because I need the functionality FFTW provides (both from 
within Octave and for other standline C programs). I would perhaps put in a 
note about how the instructions for building FFTW should generalize to building 
universal binary versions of any and all dependencies which Octave wants to 
incorporate.
