As this change has not been committed yet, I revisited this after  
David's recent changeset for "minortick" to the __go_draw_axes__.m to  
verify it would still work. As a result I found some sloppiness on my  
part .... so one more time.

In any event, this changeset permits the following to work

figure (1)
plot (1:10)
set (gca, "xtick", 0:2:10)
title ('Auto xticklabel')
pause
set (gca, "xticklabel", [0 1 3 6 8 9 10])
title ('set (gca, "xticklabel", [0 1 3 6 8 9 10])')
pause
set (gca, "xticklabel", [6 9])
title ('set (gca, "xticklabel", [6 9])')
pause
set (gca, "xticklabel", [1:100])
title ('set (gca, "xticklabel", [1:100])')
pause
set (gca, "interpreter", "tex")
set (gca, "xticklabel", ["\\alpha"; "\\beta "])
title ('set (gca, "xticklabel", ["\\alpha"; "\\beta "])')

The first three example are each consistent with Matlab and the last  
respects the recent functionality added to Octave (allowing the axes  
to have an interpreter).
