(actually these builds are slightly out of date. I added a zero length file
removal.)

*the shlib warnings are caused by pkg-config usage. I'm not particularly
concerned with them. linking with --as-needed doesn't work, and causes build
errors, so I suggest that this be ignored.

*With the octave plugin, I didn't see any precedent here for plugin
installation, except for a few mailing list entries. I installed the plugin in
a subdir of %{prefix}/libexec/octave and then provided a symlink in a default
search path in octave, so that octave can find it by default. 

*I have excluded arch on x86_64 and ppc64 for f10. This is due to the swig
build issue that is in the dep. bug. I suspect (but have not tried) that a swig
update will solve this issue, although I concede that swig could be pulling bad
code in from elsewhere on the system, and therefore a swig update could
potentially not fix the problem. Either way, f11 works fine for all arches, so
something is different :-).

If a swig update does not work it is possible to patch the makefile to
postprocess the swig generated code before compilation, although this is a
little messy.
