jwe,
The 4.2 release will be significantly better for hacking on given all the
clean up of the code that has occurred. Until then, more niggling issues.
I notice that the build system is producing .dirstamp, .octave-dirstamp,
and XXX.stamp files. Is there a reason for all this diversity? What
caught my attention was "test/bc-overload-tests.stamp" and
"scripts/java/images.stamp". Both of these files are visible because they
are not preceded by a leading '.'. Since they are really internal build
files, can they be hidden?
