But dlmwrite was imported into Octave 3.1.x so sending it to
bug at octave.org is also reasonable.. However, looking at

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/index.html?/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/dlmwrite.html

"delim" is not documented as a valid option to dlmwrite for matlab and
so I don't see this as compatibility issue. Sure we might accept "delim"
as well, but is it necessary?
