I've changed the trunk to use octave_main to initiate Octave now. There 
is one obvious annoyance though. Unfortunately Octave's command line 
history is appended to the readline history of Python's interactive 
interpreter, even though I pass --no-history --no-line-editing as 
arguments to octave_main.

So basically one runs `import pytave' inside the interpreter, and then 
the history is filled by a lot of Octave code.
