 Where is this done in the diff? The only place I noticed was in some of
 the context lines, and I thought context lines were unchanged ones...

 Personally I would wrap the addition of the `--with-framework-opengl`
 configure flag in a `platform macosx` conditional, like this:
 {{{
 platform macosx {
     configure.args-append \
         --with-framework-opengl
 }
 }}}
 That would be just for technical correctness pedantry though, as OpenGL is
 only built as a framework for the `macosx` variant of `platform
 darwin`.[[BR]]
 I doubt that anyone is actually using octave on a platform that is
 `darwin` but not also `macosx` though, so it would probably be okay to
 just leave it as is.

 Why is this necessary?

 While you are at it, I would try to be a bit more balanced with the
 recommendation to use the `+atlas` variant. While it may be true that the
 `+atlas` variant has fewer bugs (taking your word for it), the tradeoff
 that users make in exchange for the bug reduction is the commitment to
 spending a really long time building the atlas port. Personally I feel
 that this tradeoff is worth mentioning, but then again, I suppose that the
 notes are already long enough as it is...
