 While updating octave-devel to version 3.6.4_7 +atlas +gcc48 darwin_10, I
 found a configuration issue:

 Looks like some CPPFLAGS are not being set, as both qhull and pcre headers
 can't be found.

 As I had 3.6.4_6 +atlas +gcc47 darwin_10, working, but I followed the
 troubleshooting advice and removed it to re-attempt installing the current
 version. Rebuilding it using the old Portfile...
