Octave 3.4.0 released

Description
I modified the octave-devel Portfile for Octave 3.4.0. However, it should be released as octave, not octave-devel. There are still issues with plotting, command "figure" leads to "warning: no graphical display found".
Furthermore, I released my control-2.0.0 package. You can install it by
pkg install -forge control
inside Octave.
test_control
must not fail. If it does, it's due to erroneous Atlas/Lapack settings. The file "README.MacOS" from
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/
might be of interest.
Best Regards,
Lukas

If there are issues with it, then it should be a "devel" release IMHO. I don't see any issue with just keeping updating octave-devel; it does the same thing as "octave", just with a different version.

It has been 5 weeks since I posted the Octave 3.4.0 Portfile and seemingly nothing happened. Hopefully it is due to a lack of manpower, not a lack of interest.
@ryandesign: IIRC it is based on my Octave 3.3.92 Portfile. Given the fact that diff and FileMerge are able to compare one file to any other, creating a patch to any existing Portfile you like should not be an issue.
@michaelld: Octave 3.4.0 fixes some long-standing bugs. Personally I rely on two of these fixes.

Posting a diff will help move this along. It saves time for the committers and makes us more likely to commit it. Especially given that the maintainer is not responding.

Diff attached, for the sake of posterity (I'm going to move to octave-devel). Diff is against octave-devel, and is trivial (minimum necessary to download and verify the sources, and identify the version).
The octave-devel Portfile looks cleaner to me at a glance, but it is substantially different, not only to support additional dependencies of octave 3.4, but also in its internal port logic (eg, variants). I can understand the reluctance of the octave maintainer to make the jump without careful review (if that's why the delays).

Michael, I'm assigning this to you, as Andre Stechert is no longer maintaining octave (r78753), so since you maintain octave-devel, you might want to take over octave as well.

Could you submit a diff, please, instead of a complete portfile? If this is more based on the octave-devel port than the octave port, feel free to base your patch off the octave-devel port.
