I may be wrong, but I think you'll find that Octave converts real data
into complex data before performing a Fourier transform.
If you look in liboctave/oct-fftw.h, you will notice that there is no
declaration for octave_fftw involving real matrices.
An additional clue is the fact that only the complex variants of fftpack
are present in libcruft/fftpack.
