Follow-up Comment #3:

I modified the patch further to get away from using "! files_found" and
instead use a positive assertion "not_local_files".  I also commented out the
test which relies on a unix operating system.  Cygwin, for example, reports
true for isunix but might not have executables like "file" or "cut".  We need
a test that is platform agnostic and can be implemented within Octave itself. 
A also added the bug number to the commit message.  This allows us to quickly
associate a changeset with a bug report and the reason for the code.

I checked in the code on the development branch
(https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/5bfbcbec6826).

Marking as fixed and closing report.
