I've made changes for this in CVS. If you are interested in seeing
diffs, let me know. Otherwise, update from CVS, give it a try, and
let me know if you notice any problems. In particular, I'd like to
know if there are operations that can no longer be interrupted
reasonably quickly. I've inserted a lot of calls to the OCTAVE_QUIT
macro that actually throws the exception that takes us back to the
top-level command loop, but it's hard to know exactly how many to use
and where they should go. Mostly I've tried to insert them in loops
that could run for a long time. I may have used too many in some
places and missed some others where it would be helpful.
