[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

The slowness issue of ginput on octave/mingw32 had been discussed  

http://old.nabble.com/ginput-with-Octave-3.2-is-SLOOOOOOWWWW-on-Windows-td27635367.html

This is the similar to the slowness issue of the plot

Adding sleep(0.05) in the loop like th above gave immediate response of ginput.

However I do not any confidence the above patch is proper.

It will be grateful if some give me suggestion and comments.
