Details:

m4 script to allow checking in configure for octave functions withut the need
to use octave - mainly to provide the ability to check from a cross built
target

For normal names, it looks for a matching .m and .oct file before seeing if it
can match the name in PKG_ADD files and lastly as a built-in function.

For names with a '.' in them, it assumes it is a namespace or package path to
a valid .m file such as +containers.Map or @ftp.mget 


examples:

OCTAVE_HAS_FUNCTION([help])

OCTAVE_HAS_FUNCTION([+containers.Map])

OCTAVE_HAS_FUNCTION([@ftp.mget])
