Version 1.0 does not support externally compiled fuctions.

Version 1.1 will have limited support for this if you are running
Octave on a system that supports the GNU dynamic linker DLD.
Unfortunately, DLD does not currently work on very many systems.  I
have heard that someone is working on it though, so this situation may
eventually improve.

The interface is not at all like Matlab's Mex file interface (it is
probably possible to emulate it, but I am not particularly interested
in working on that myself).

Yes, version 1.1 will eventually be released, though I can't say for
sure exactly when it will happen.
