I only now realized that the nonfree directory is distributed in the
octave-forge tarball and this is apparently the source of the problems. I
think we should drop it, such that the tarball becomes really free under
the strict FSF interpretation.

A question to John: octave-gpc is distributed as a separate tarball in
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2888.  Is this okay
with you?
