[OctDev] doc wrong in weekday.m

[Deepak Goel]

Forge's weekday fcn seems to be consistent with matlab.  Today is
Tuesday.


 octave:14> date
 ans = 27-Sep-2005
 octave:17> [d s]=weekday(now)
 d = 3
 s = Tue


however, the doc seems wrong:

     Takes a date (in either datenum format or a string that datenum
     can parse) and returns the number for the day of the week (0 =
     "Sun", 1 = "Mon", ... , "Sat")


The doc says that Tue is 2, whereas it is really 3, both for the fcn,
as well as in matlab.

(Attached is a also diff fix and changelog entry.)



Sincerely,

DG
