The loop here is a holdover from when I thought we might be able to
install all of octave-forge with a single pkg install command. The
octave-forge bundle is just a tarball of the individual packages and so
it should be possible to install them all in one go.
However, that doesn't really make sense as there are packages in
octave-forge that should only be installed on some platforms.. The loop
should go..
