[Eeglablist] Name conflicts between EEGLab and MATLAB builtin functions

[Arnaud Delorme]

Dear Etienne,

sorry for the glitch. We are working on fixing the warning messages. These functions are indeed to ensure Octave compatibility (command line calls only as Octave graphics are not stable enough at this point). In the meantime, if you have the warning, simply delete the content of this folder.

Best,

Arno

Lines 222 and 882 are only about figuring out if it is running on Matlab or Octave anyway.
