I seem to remember discussing this once before but I'm not sure why we
didn't include them.  If we do include them, I would want only one
version, so we would replace the scripts with the compiled code.  I
think some people objected to having them be compiled programs instead
of scripts because it made it harder to modify them or see exactly
what they are doing (for example, find how the environment variables
are used).

Indeed.
I finally put the files under CVS on octave-forge such that anybody can
access in case of interest. I then just try to keep the C++ version in sync
with the shell scripts, when changes occur (which does not happen very
often). I can live with that.

Michael.
