I almost forgot: you probably will want to use 'clear' right before your main
function terminates, in order to clear your 'sourced' M-files from the
interpreter.

Here's some docs on the 'clear' function:
http://www.octave.org/doc/octave_10.html#SEC68

A neat trick is that if you name all of your functions consistently
with some {pre-|post-} fix tag, like "FooBar", then you can just type:

clear FooBar*

And all of your uniquely-named utility functions will be knocked out
in one fell swoop. :-)
