Thanks for the information.  Version 2.1.0 has just been prepared
upstream to be released.  I am currently editing d/copyright and will
push the new version to Alioth as soon as the release is officially
published at Octave Forge.

The new version introduces a bundled library, which might not compile on
uncommon architectures.  I don't know.  We will see.  If that happens,
we can simply exclude that library for problematic architectures.
