Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your e-mail.

Yes - it's been broken. octave-forge has been changed drastically, and
I'm not sure what to do. Therefore I'm really appreciated if you take it
over!

I'm not sure which way we should take - making a lot of ports vs single ports.
IMHO we should make a single port so that keep the maintainance cost low.

Do you need to be the MAINTAINER?

Thank you,
