You're spot on:  

a) Don't mix compilers between the version octave was built with (== version
number used for its dyn. loadable code) and the one you intend to use for
your dyn. loadable code. Esp. not across major upgrade as in 2.95 to 3.0 to
3.2 to 3.3.

b) Small is beautiful. Rebuild oregenator.cc. Add one class, function, new
header, new library, etc at a time. Add new classes with new interfaces
incrementally. Test test test. Keep the delta small between tested code
bases and new code bases.

Hth, Dirk
