I've been looking a bit at this. My first thought was simply to remove
the option of passing extra arguments to the functions via lists.
However, it seems like lists are also used to control which dimensions
should be optimised. Lists also seems to be used internally.

I don't use the these functionalities, so I fear that if I "fix" the
problems, then I'll just break the code. So, I would really appreciate
some help here.

Can somebody who actually use all this 'list' stuff look into replacing
it by something more modern? Let me stress that if this doesn't happen,
then 'optim' will NOT be usable with Octave 3.4. IMHO that would be
quite a loss.
