If you have a file, say x.cc, that defines

  DEFUN_DLD (foo, , ,
    "foo help"
  {
    ...
  }

  DEFUN_DLD (bar, , ,
    "bar help"
  {
    ...
  }

and you run `mkoctfile x.cc' to create x.oct, you can access `foo' and
`bar' in x.oct if you create some links:

  ln x.oct foo.oct
  ln x.oct bar.oct
