Well, as the octave load/save code assumes that the variables are loaded 
into octave_value's this basically means that you have to link to 
liboctinterp.so as well as liboctave.so. Then you can probably call the 
load_save.cc (do_load) function in a manner similar to that around the 
lines  879-948... This will load the variables to the user space, which 
might not be what you want. Alternatively you might use a modified 
version of the do_load that instead of calling  
"install_loaded_variable", instead extracts the variable from the 
octave_value and places it in an appropriate type. You might want to 
simplify do_load for your needs
