*** Drop the builder from the buildbot configuration.
*** Don't '''actively''' remove support for native builds from MXE Octave. But don't spend too much time maintaining it. Maybe at some later time, someone will step up to maintain it again.

** Short summary: Octave got one x86_64 server instance '''(2 cores, 4 GB memory, 500 GB HDD)''', useful as webserver probably?!

** Need clarity about the purpose: Helping search vs. Motivate to join Octave community.
* How to implement a classdef class in C++ code only?
** Why is the classdef implementation so complicated? Does it need to be?
** @carandraug and @Maged will look into this for their GSoC project. Pointers welcome.
** Maybe, some kind of documentation could be a result of the GSoC project.
