I didn't say that FFTW supports CUDA. I said: *if* it supports it,
Octave will benefit from it without further work.

I have no idea about CUDA support in any library out there. I also don't
think it makes much sense to create free software and then tie yourself
to just one hardware vendor, but that's probably just me.
