After permission from jwe on IRC, I have pushed this patch. However, I still don't know what to do with the perl script that generates the list and can be useful again in the future as matlab implements new functions or we want to expand the list to other packages. I'm just leaving it here by now.

My guess is that it could also be useful to update the list of missing core functions.

After talking with jwe on IRC, I have updated the perl script to skip functions we already have in Octave core. These functions were appearing in the list of package list because they were either overloaded (such as plot appearing as a financial function because it was overloaded for the financial time series class) or have simply been implemented in core (such as ntsc2rgb).

I'm uploading a new patch a new perl script to generate the lists.

(file #29257, file #29258)

I expanded _unimplemented_ to also recognize functions that belong to a Matlab toolbox and to warn about installing the corresponding Octave Forge package.

In addition, it also checks if the package is installed but not loaded to fix the very frequent complain about missing functions even though the packages are installed.

I have attached the patch I intend to push and the perl script I used to get the list of functions from the online documentation (where can I place it so it can be used again in the future?).
