I think the goal is that the user has a reasonable expectation of
finding the same core functions in Octave as in Matlab, and the rest we
can split off as separate packages particularly if they aren't used
extensively. I suppose that means that the code dependent on libglpk
might be split off, but libqhull will probably have to stay as the
delaunay, etc are Matlab core functions that are extensively used.
