Hi Mikhail,

Thanks for sending along the patch and the variable re-definition.  If I
understand correctly then the patch should be applied for any system,
but the variable definition need only be applied on windows systems.  Is
that correct?

Can anyone confirm that matlab/octave code blocks are still functional
on a GNU/Linux machine after the above patch and redefinition have been
applied?  I do not use octave/matlab myself and can't verify this.

If they don't break anything I'm happy to apply these patches.

Thanks,
