Right. dlmread.cc was removed from upstream, as it is now in Octave 3.2.
Unfortunately, io's description still lists 2.9.7 as minimum
requirement.

We are in the process of updating all octave-forge packages for
octave3.2, but this process is currently stalled due to a library
transition (suitesparse 3.2 -> 3.4).
