    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The io package relies on octave_config_info for a couple of things:

0. second guess pkg on where the oct files will be installed
0. check for java support
0. something else in __UNO_spsh_open__ that checks if it was built with 64 bit
indexing

The attached patch fixes the first issue. On top of not using
octave_config_info, it has the two other advantages of: 1) not moving files
around during installation in a way that is way too dependent on knowing the
internals of pkg; 2) does not add and clear variables from the user
workspace.

The two others can be trivially fixed with:


usejava ("jvm")
sizemax () > intmax ("int32")
