My apologies to Michael, then. I wanted to express my opinion that
probably anybody would agree that gcc3-compilable Octave sources would
be a plus, except for the Vogons. But that still doesn't imply any
actions from anybody.

No, you're not. I already told Michael that I will apply such a patch
if he sends it. I agree this is equally readable to the original code,
so it's a win/draw. I just won't bother to create it myself (besides,
I don't even know the lines in sparse-xdiv where this occurs). I'm
still offering a bit of my time to actually apply it.

cheers
