I pushed a change to remove the fftpack sources and require FFTW to
perform FFT computations:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/59f4fda5c548
I don't anticipate trouble from this change, but it can always be undone
if there is some serious objection.

I propose to remove fftpack sources from Octave and rely on FFTW to
perform FFT calcuations. FFTW will still be an optional dependency, but
if it is missing, no built-in FFT functions will be available in Octave.
As it is now, we still have fftpack sources included in the Octave
source tree but I suspect they are rarely used because just about any
modern system has FFTW packaged, and if not, it is easily available.
