DESCRIPTION
The GNU Octave language for numerical computations is a (mostly Matlab (R)
compatible) high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
computations. It provides a convenient command-line interface for solving
linear and nonlinear problems numerically.

KNOWN BUGS
On cygwin-1.7.9 the plot with gnuplot toolkit is working very bad.
This is due to a fork bug and is not an octave bug.
Any cygwin snapshots after 2011-06-01 solve the issues,
so the next cygwin-1.7.10 will definetely remove the bug.
