Kai btw, there used to a reference to my own Octave VM package for the Mac; I can't find it any more - is there any reason this has been removed, eg user complaints?

Thank you for the snippet William and for considering being mentioned on
the Octave website.  I added the snippet to the website repo [1] and
should be visible online [2] by now.

Edmund, even though updating the website is not super easy, we do not
have to be worried about "texts to be set into stone".  At least I am
(and hopefully others [3] too) able to make changes to the Savannah CVS
beast if the snipped should be altered ;-)
