Yes, thanks, this works for me. But the problem is: mathgl.tar.gz is a 
generated file (it is actually a target in the mathgl's Makefile). It can 
be different on different systems (at least, the directory name 
i686-pc-linux-gnu-api-v32 will be different). So, it cannot have a fixed 
checksum. Is it possible to write some octave-forge-* like ebuild which 
will take /usr/share/mathgl/octave/mathgl.tar.gz and install it into 
/usr/share/octave/packages/ without checking checksums etc.?
