This doesn't work.  If "function" is the first
non-comment-or-whitespace token in a file, then only the first
function is parsed.

You can create symbolic links using Cygwin.  Since Octave depends on
Cygwin on windows systems symbolic links created this way will work
(but not for the purpose you suggested).
