hi all,

I'm about to request a new release of the linear-algebra package.
Because of the major new changes, I marked this as version 2.0.

Summary of news:

New classes for manipulating structured matrices:

* kronprod for matrices represented as kronecker products
* blksparse for block sparse matrices with uniform blocks of arbitrary
size (division not supported yet)

New functions:

* cod gives the complete orthogonal decomposition. Currently
implemented using double QR, to be possibly optimized in the future.
* smwsolve for solving linear systems augmented by low-rank matrices
using the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury formula.
* rotv and rotparams have been moved here from miscellaneous.

Other changes:

"outer" is gone. It didn't compile with newest Octave and I decided
not to bother fixing it, given that it has been long ago superseded by
bsxfun, which is now both more efficient and more general. small
adjustments in other funcs to make them compile with newest Octave. >=
3.2.4 is now required, but the blksparse class will only work in
3.3.51+ (and checks for it).

unless anyone objects, I'll become the maintainer of this package.

comments, further suggestions?
