[Eeglablist] EEGLAB in GNU Octave 4

[embar at super.lt]

Hi,

As GNU Octave 4.0 uses GUI by default, and James provided some tips,
someone with permissions should update EEGLAB wiki, e.g.
http://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/EEGLAB_and_supercomputing_applications_using_free_alternatives_to_Matlab#EEGLAB_and_Octave_graphics

I wish, that next EEGLAB version (14) would officially support GNU Octave,
including GUI functionality. Also, I am curious about current state of
progress.
