In 2.9.x (with x sufficiently large) mfilename works for both scripts
and functions.  But as I recall, making that work required some
changes to the Octave interpreter, so you can't just grab the
mfilename function from 2.9.x and expect it to work in 2.1.x, and I
think that modifying the mfilename function from Octave Forge to
handle scripts as well as functions would be non trivial.
