RE: package nan warnings

[Yin, Yue-Jun]

Alois,
Thank you. I got your point about the agreement issue.
What is the consequence of shadowing? The performance is enhanced or the other 
way?

Version 2.5.6 (available from here:
   http://pub.ist.ac.at/~schloegl/matlab/NaN/
fixes the "mexext: Command not found" message.

As Carne pointed out, I cannot do anything about the warning on shadowing core 
functions without agreement of the octave maintainers.
