The first version of the package (0.1.0) I submitted on octave-forge
was working (even if in bad shape).

Then in version 0.1.1 I switched from the use of some my code to other
functions in Octave (to reduce the amount of code to mantain).
I didn't test it because of lack of spare time.

When I had more spare time (1 month ago) I almost totally rewrote the package.
Now it is in better shape and working.

I opened a bug against the octave-ga package with severity serious.
