Thanks for all your efforts to extend the examples.

revision 9137 (which is the version accessible to me in the last 15 minutes)
has a build problem due to missing x31f.f90.  I expect you forgot to
commit it.

Here is how I think we should divide up the rest of the propagation work so
we don't duplicate work.  Obviously, Hez should be responsible for OCaml,
Jerry for Ada, and Werner for d (which is still a work in progress at the
moment, but it would be nice to see it completed).  Could you be responsible
for octave?

Once I can build PLplot to check the current status, my priorities will be
(in decreasing priority order) python, f95, f77, java, c++, and tcl.  If you
have some energy left over after octave is complete, could you pursue the
same list in the opposite order so we meet somewhere in the middle?
