[OctDev] isunix

[William Poetra Yoga H]

I think isunix.m can be implemented this way:

## -*- texinfo -*-
## @deftypefn {Function File} {} isunix ()
## Return @sc{true} if Octave is running in a Unix environment.
## @end deftypefn
##
## @seealso{ispc, isstudent, octave_config_info}

function retval = isunix()

  if (nargin > 0)
    usage("isunix ()");
  endif

  retval = octave_config_info("unix");

endfunction

Note the usage of "in a Unix environment": it also returns true if we are
running on Cygwin.

Btw, is my usage of @sc{} appropriate?
Also, can I replace usage(...) above with this?

  help("isunix");
  error("");

No.  This forces output to the terminal even if you are in
an environment such as try ... catch or eval(code,catch).
