[Eeglablist] Name conflicts between EEGLab and MATLAB builtin functions

[Simon-Shlomo Poil]

Dear Etienne,

I believe these functions are related to Octave not Matlab (Octave is
an open-source 'matlab-like' program).

I recommend to just delete the 'octavefunc' folder. These functions
are only there to make EEGlab work in Octave...
