Some of the options were renamed due to Matlab compatibility and Jacopo kept
them because of backward compatibility with odepkg. I think we can break
with that. 
Some other options are solver specific (e.g. I have introduced 5 years ago
NewtonTol for radau5). I suggest that we remove them but we should allow
arbitrary parameter/value pairs (maybe with a warning). This is different
from Matlab (I believe) but still allows odepkg to work. More elegant but
rather complicated: odeset/get checks if odepkg is installed and loads a
corresponding list of acceptable strings.
