Okay.  So FIXES goes away and we solve the problem of what
was changed with documentation.  Actually, in the case of functions
moving into octave they wouldn't belong in FIXES anyway since
they don't change Octave behaviour.

I see no reason for a deprecated subdirectory as opposed to
just leaving the files in the main package directory, but whatever.
