Nearly, there still seems to be one 'DOC' left in scripts/pkg/pkg.m. If I change 
this to 'doc-cache' then yes, I can install a package. Can you add this change 
per hand or should I send a changeset?

   bash$ cat scripts/pkg/pkg.m | grep DOC
     gen_doc_cache (fullfile (dirs{i}, "DOC"), dirs{i});

Thanks again,

   Thomas
