I packaged 1.0 for Debian (and Ubuntu). In the meantime, Jaroslav
released 1.1 that has those functions. They're not essential, just a
nice addition with more optimisations. Octave will work without them.
I did prepare a 1.1 Debian package for qrupdate, but at the time there
were some ATLAS bugs, and I forgot about it. The bugs have since been
fixed, I think, so I should go back to my packaging.

Debian right now is going through the final stages of its release
cycle, so I won't be able to upload an updated package to unstable.
I'll see if I can get someone to upload it to experimental.

Or you could forego my Debian packaging and just get the library
yourself from http://qrupdate.sf.net if you get impatient for me to
update the package. ;-)

Thank you Jordi, this makes sense now.  I will be patient. I do not need the function. I was just learning about the compile system and was curious about why it was skipping tests.
