I second this idea. It would make things much easier to maintain,
IMHO. Octave scripts can differentiate between versions 2 and 3 as
follows:

if (exist ("OCTAVE_VERSION") == 5)
## New code
else
## Old code
endif

But to do that in every file would be quite messy. So, perhaps the
current /plugins/octave/octave/ tree can be split into:
/plugins/octave/octave/2/; and /plugins/octave/octave/3/. Then, the
initialization script (.octaverc) could set the load path to include
one or the other tree depending on the simple test above.

This will be very useful over the next semester. ;-) Thank you.
