Let's try again: octave 3.8.1 release candidate 3 available for ftp

[John W. Eaton]

The third release candidate of Octave 3.8.1 really is available now
from alpha.gnu.org in the directory /gnu/octave:

  5ad1c510b5293726b111ed4838f637cb octave-3.8.1-rc3.tar.gz  (md5sum)

  -rw-r--r-- 1 3003 3002 20586726 Feb 17 17:09 octave-3.8.1-rc3.tar.gz

Yes, this is rc3 though you probably didn't know about rc1 and rc2.
Those were not announced because I made a few mistakes creating them
that ended up being public (on alpha.gnu.org and pushed to the
savannah hg archive) I couldn't delete them.  And then uploading rc3
failed the first time, but not before the upload system recorded some
info about the transfer.  Then when I tried again, it complained about
uploading the same signature file twice.  And then I failed to notice that
the most recent file on alpha was still rc1, not rc3.  Ugh.  I think
it is correct now.

Please help make the 3.8.1 release a success by building from this
release candidate and reporting any problems.

3.8.1-rc3 is now the default build for mxe-octave.
