disable doc extraction for optim package Disable the rules for extracting doc strings because they don't work when cross compiling. Our patches to the source files don't touch the doc strings, so there is no need to update them anyway.

<h2>Welcome</h2>
<p>
Thank you for installing GNU Octave!
</p>
<p>
Octave 4.2 is a major release with many improvements in Matlab compatibility
as well as significant cleanup of the core C++ code.
</p>
<p>
A full list of changes can be found in the Release Notes from the News menu.
</p>
<h2>BLAS Library Selection</h2>
<p>
During the installation a default BLAS library was selected. The installer
contains 2 BLAS implementations,
the <a href="http://www.netlib.org/blas/">NetLib reference BLAS</a>
and <a href="http://www.openblas.net/">OpenBLAS</a>.
</p>
<p>
The choice of library may be changed after installation by copying
either librefblas.dll or libopenblas.dll to the file libblas.dll in the bin
folder of the Octave installation.
</p>
