Sure I thought of that.
Multiple reasons for me trying the other way:
1) The code should use feval .... I don't know how to do this in an
#.oct file
2) This is an optimization code which "sits" above other m-files and
there is  
probably no speed benefit using C.
3) I might try to change some things. m-files are easier for that.
4) This code uses #ifdef and other preprocessing stuff extremely often.
Once it is compiled all this features are gone. I don't want to loose
them.
The code has a feature to optimize himself. I am not sure right now how
to handle that.
