Details:

There are 11 BIST tests in the Octave test suite that depend on the FLTK
toolkit. If Octave is built with Qt + OpenGL, but without FLTK, these tests
are all skipped.

Since Qt is now preferred, better supported, and actively maintained over
FLTK, it would be better if these tests were either migrated to Qt, adapted as
necessary to Qt or gnuplot, or deleted if they can't be tested without FLTK
for some reason.

I build Octave without FLTK now, here is the test suite excerpt showing the
affected files:


  libinterp/corefcn/graphics.cc-tst .............................. PASS  
49/49  
                                                 (missing feature) SKIP    4
  gui/uimenu.m ................................................... PASS    0/0
  
                                                 (missing feature) SKIP    3
  plot/util/allchild.m ........................................... PASS    2/2
  
                                                 (missing feature) SKIP    1
  plot/util/findall.m ............................................ PASS    0/0
  
                                                 (missing feature) SKIP    1
  plot/util/graphics_toolkit.m ................................... PASS    0/0
  
                                                 (missing feature) SKIP    2
