Ok. Limiting them to the developers is a good idea.

Even so, If they are left in testfun, but not include them in module.mk (these 
files are not there now), then they're accessible when running from the build 
directory structure (i.e. via run-octave).  This exposes them for developers, 
but removes them entirely for normal users.

I apologize the prodding ... to be honest deciding who the functions should be 
exposed to, and how they could be most conveniently used, was one of the 
reasons I never pushed the changeset.
