I'm seeing some test failures.  One with polygcd, which I think is a known random occurrence failure.  (Should we change it to "known failure"?)  Then there are five failures for the output of the license command:

processing /usr/local/src/octave/octave-complex_operators/octave/scripts/miscellaneous/license.m

***** assert ((license ("inuse", "octave")).feature, "octave")
!!!!! test failed
cellfun: C must be a cell array

etc.

Dan,

I checked in a change to license.m so that it uses 'pkg list' instead of 'pkg describe all' (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/672674d5e8d9).  This fixes the failing tests and also greatly speeds up the function because 'pkg describe all' is very slow.

tic; test license; toc

was 8.4 seconds and is now 0.64 seconds or ~13X improvement.
