Hello,

this looks pretty nice. After a fresh check-out, I tried to make the
website, but I see this error:

address@hidden:~/cvs-octave-www/octave$ make
octave --quiet --eval "make_figure ('example1', 'eps')"
error: `make_figure' undefined near line -1 column 1

make: *** [example1.eps] Fehler 1


Where does make_figure come from?
