Currently, the file browser widget do change the octave directory when
browsing through the directories. AFAIK this is the behavior of the ML
current folder browser, too.
John's change adds the list of recently visited directories and corrects
the issue that the octave directory is not updated when entering a new
directory or when the "up" button is clicked.
