When porting these kinds of things, I think it would be best to try to
work with the original authors if you can so that you don't create a
fork of the project. By avoiding a fork, we have a better chance to
use future versions as well, rather than just the one version you
ported. Plus, if you show the original authors that their package can
run in Octave, we might also be able to get them interested in Octave,
perhaps even to the point where they would recommend it instead of
continuing to promote Matlab.
