I try to write code that lies in the intersection between Octave,
Matlab 3.5 and current Matlab.  Most of the time it requires no more
than avoiding certain sensitive functions and starting each M-file with

if exist('do_fortran_indexing'),
  do_fortran_indexing=1; empty_list_elements_ok=1;
end

And, of course, keeping all function names lower case.
