Hi Alexander,

I've put another draft in experimental/jfmertens/main/finkinfo/sci.
Since it seems not clear that monolithic versions will continue to
be available, this one uses octave's own pkg management system
to build a single fink pkg from the latest bundle _ ie, targeted towards
octave-2.9.12, the one in fink.
It is slow _ (layers of pkg management systems _ they eat all your
CPU cycles !) _, it can possibly be improved by fetching instead a
tarball from their cvs repositiry _ that one would have at least a  
top-level
makefile; a top-level configure cache would also improve things...
But it seems workable, and +/- "legal"

Jean-Francois
