[Pkg-octave-devel] Manpages for octave-cli and octave-gui

[Rafael Laboissiere]

In package version 3.8.0~rc2-1, the commands octave-gui and octave-cli 
are lacking manpages.  I implemented a solution in commit b3d5849, by 
linking octave-gui.1.gz and octave-cli.1.gz to octave.1.gz and by 
changing, through a patch, the original manpage to read this:

    SYNOPSIS
         octave [options]... [file]
         octave-cli [options]... [file]
         octave-gui [options]... [file]

    DESCRIPTION
         Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
         computations.  It provides convenient command line (octave-cli)
         and graphical user (octave-gui) interfaces for solving linear and
         nonlinear problems numerically.  The octave command is a synonym
         for octave-gui.

instead of this:

    SYNOPSIS
         octave [options]... [file]

    DESCRIPTION
         Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
         computations.  It provides a convenient command line interface for
         solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically.

Please, tell me whether you think this solution is acceptable, and I will 
forward the patch upstream.
