I was looking at the Makefile, and it had some comments asking for 
suggestions for how to extract the version numbers of octave.

How about:

majorversion := $(shell mkoctfile --version 2>&1 \
| awk -F '[. ]' '{print $$3}')
minorversion := $(shell mkoctfile --version 2>&1 \
| awk -F '[. ]' '{print $$4}')
microversion := $(shell mkoctfile --version 2>&1 \
| awk -F '[. ]' '{print $$5}')

The backslashes are there only because I can't fit it all on one line 
with my email client.

Or:

majorversion := $(word 3,$(shell mkoctfile --version 2>&1 \
| sed 's/\./ /g'))
minorversion := $(word 4,$(shell mkoctfile --version 2>&1 \
| sed 's/\./ /g'))
microversion := $(word 5,$(shell mkoctfile --version 2>&1 \
| sed 's/\./ /g'))
