[octave forge] miscellaneous package

[JohnD]

A recent bug report [1] came up on the miscellaneous package [2] which had
already fixed quite a while ago.

The package looks like it has had work done on it somewhat recently but the
package itself hasn't has a new release since 2014., so anyone have any
objections if I take a look at in in regards to a new release?
