CC'ing the maintainer of the NaN package.

You are right.  I'd argue this is an issue with pkg().  pkg only accepts
versions in the format "major.minor.patch".  In addition, if the patch number
is missing it appends a zero.  It probably shouldn't do it.  My guess is that
it does this to ease comparison between version.

As far as generate_html is concerned, the release really was 3.0.0 which
caused the broken link on the octave forge site.  I have fixed this online.
