doctest 0.4.0 released

Hi everyone

the first release of the doctest package as an Octave Forge package is
out [1], version 0.4.0, by Colin B. Macdonald, and Michael Walter.

The Octave-Forge Doctest package finds specially-formatted blocks of example
code within documentation files.  It then executes the code and confirms the
output is correct.  This can be useful as part of a testing framework or
simply to ensure that documentation stays up-to-date during software
development.

If you have used Python's doctest module [2], then you already have an idea
of what it does.

Enjoy Octave responsibly,
Carnë
