Another is to start (or end) your LOADPATH with a colon, then the
default loadpath is automatically prepended (or appended).  Also, a
doubled colon anywhere in the path is replaced by the default path.
So

  LOADPATH = [DEFAULT_LOADPATH, ":/tmp:/what/ever/you/want"]

and

  LOADPATH = ":/tmp:/what/ever/you/want"

have the same effect (at least this is how things are supposed to work
in the 2.1.x development versions of Octave).
