I have puzzled out the reason that datevec.m tests are
segfaulting on Leopard in octave. Recent octave releases
have added a test for the broken strptime function in Tiger.
The criteria used for this test is satisfied by Leopard's
strptime but it still seems to have issues. The fix is to
hardcode the use of octave's strptime call instead on
Darwin. With this change none of the tests in make check
on octave segfault on powerpc-apple-darwin9. I've also
reduced the patch to that change and simplified the
configure options.
