Actually our rows function does the same as Octave's. In the next  
major release of Dynare we will create specific directories for  
functions present in Matlab and not in Octave, and vice-versa, to make  
things clean.

For the current version of Dynare, where everything is in the same  
directory, it appears simpler to me to simply rename that function. So  
the package works on both Octave and Matlab out of the box. But I  
could also implement a Matlab-specific directory in the Debian  
packaging of the current version, if this seems preferable. And, for  
table.m, since it doesn't do the same thing than Octave's, we must  
rename it.

Otherwise thanks for pointing that rcond has been incorporated in  
development version of Octave, and that mark_as_command will become  
useless. We will take advantage of it when Octave 3.2 is released.

Best,
