remove JIT compiler from Octave sources
As stated in the NEWS file entry added with this changeset, no one
has ever seriously taken on further development of the JIT compiler in
Octave since it was first added as part of a Google Summer of Code
project in 2012 and it still does nothing significant. It is out of
date with the default interpreter that walks the parse tree. Even
though we have fixed the configure script to disable it by default,
people still ask questions about how to build it, but it doesn’t seem
that they are doing that to work on it but because they think it will
make Octave code run faster (it never did, except for some extremely
simple bits of code as examples for demonstration purposes only).

It provides capabilities for the numerical solution of linear and nonlinear problems, and for performing other numerical experiments. It also provides extensive graphics capabilities for data visualization and manipulation. Octave is normally used through its interactive command line interface, but it can also be used to write non-interactive programs. The Octave language is quite similar to Matlab so that most programs are easily portable. </description> <description xml:lang="de"> GNU Octave ist eine höhere, interpretierte Programmiersprache, die hauptsächlich für numerische Berechnungen gedacht ist.
