Cool. Please note that I changed the file release to have a -src
suffix (if there will be binaries) and fixed a bug (in the future,
releases should probably not be altered in such a way, but right now
it doesn't mind).
I have the integration of the new codes into Octave ready (as an
external dependency), so I'll be glad if you say it's possible
(there's probably no need to actually release the package anywhere
until next snapshot release from development branch).

cheers
