I don't think Octave's load command should be fixed to handle
arbitrary HDF5 files.  Instead, it would probably be better to have a
thin wrapper around the HDF5 library that would allow you to easily
write an Octave script to read whatever HDF5 files you have (still
assuming that you can represent the data in some way inside Octave).
