I checked in the following changes:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/dcde57cb5778
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/0b0bf1fd1ed7
These will not apply to the 3.2.x sources since they use gnulib
modules and that is a recent addition to the Octave sources. You'll
need to build from the sources in the Mercurial archive to test the
changes.
