Details:

(with rference to bug #55283 comments 4 & 5)

In the new default branch (future 6.0.0) much stuff that was deprecated long
ago was removed. As a consequence, several OF package cannot be built anymore
with 6.0.0, at least not in mxe-octave.
Examples of deprecated things are feval (now octave::feval), is_empty (now
isempty) and many more.

To be able to get binary packages cross-built with mxe-otave with octave-6.0.0
I had to adapt code from the following OF packages, on top of the fixes
already included with me-octave:

* communications  &
* control  &
* miscellaneous  &
* nurbs  &
* ocs  &
* odepkg  (&)
* optim  &
* quaternion  &
* signal  &
* specfun
* struct  ?

plus, mkoctfile now barfs at code in the windows package that used to be
swallowed by release 5.0.0.

I've included diffs for the above mentioned packages marked with a "&".  
odepkg is special in that I couldn't make an direct diff with the repo, so I
edited the diff manually; so that diff merely serves to indicate what changes
are to be made.
For some reason I couldn't download the specfun source including the one
binary module (ellipj) so no diff there.
As Savannah accepts only 4 uploads at a time I'll upload the diffs in several
stages.

I made just one bug report, as I'd rather not swamp the bug tracker with
twelve separate reports.
