I was trying in this code to share code between
SPARSE_SMS_CMP_OPS, SPARSE_SSM_CMP_OPS and SPARSE_SMSM_CMP_OPS, but 
forgot the case of M1 or M2 to SPARSE_SMSM_CMP_OPS being boolean. I 
suppose the easiest fix for this would just be to duplicate some of the 
code to get rid of the externs. The mixed sparse boolean, double ops 
aren't needed as Octave in that case promotes the boolean to a double in 
any case before treating it.

Changeset attached.
