As is 2.95, 2.8 etc, but I don't think these are relevant here.

The two main problems with making octave 2.0 build with it are

1) The compiler doesn't accept use of C++ reserved word as enums
2) Not all "#define"s in Octave were done correctly - they mostly
   worked, not anymore

Both of these are fixed (and mostly were, even before the release of
RHL7).
