so to resume :
- we had a physicalconstants standalone package for ages
- it was moved to miscellaneous as the maintainer disappear and
  roughly every four year we need a serious update
- we have a new volunteer and we stick to the old version
  in miscellaneous

Really, I do not follow the logic. I was assuming the reverse

I had already prepared the binary of 2.0 version for cygwin and I was 
ready to deploy the ~ 51 forge packages with the new octave
3.8.0 release. (I am only waiting your update of integration).

So now I need to re-look at the physicalconstants scenario....
