Hi,

yes, that was the initial idea, but as no one needed at that time and,
sincerely, I did not have much more time to work on it we just left it
for the future.

I am quite busy until end of june, so until then I think, if Sylvain
agrees, that we can do it by hand, at least for GNU Octave. I have
tested it with a project of mine and works fine.

What do you think?


Aleix
