Don't put it in main/cell as cell2mat.m is not in octave yet, though as 
it is a core function of matlab I imagine it soon will be.. In fact 
there are some iterative functions in main/sparse that are not in octave 
but are still useful, so I'd even be careful about putting NOINSTALL in 
main/sparse. The correct solution is probably to completely decruft 
octave-forge for a 2.9.x tree, including removing functions merged with 
octave. Make a specific 2.9.x octave-forge release then use Soren's 
packaging system to start to breaking octave-forge apart into seperate 
packages...
