Details:

The io Octave Forge package, as of 2.4.13, does the standard Octave thing of
prefixing its error and (some) warning messages with "<fcn>: ", indicating
which function raised the error. However:

* Not all occurrences of error(...) use this prefix.
* In some, the prefix includes the ".m" for the function M-file name; I don't
think that's standard
* In a couple places, it uses the wrong function name.

The attached patch cleans this up, making the error messages more consistent.
