If you are using a really powerful computer, a silly way to do this
would be to 

0. Write your function & invocation into a temp file.
1. use 'system()' call in your Windows program & invoke Octave with
temp file as argument; which is the easiest way to do it.

Dont tell at me for performance. I know its really bad.

Advanced operations are

1. Using pipes (popen, pclose)
2. write your program in Octave & use pipes in Octave!
   (Converse of algo proposed above)
3. Embed Octave in your application by compiling it within.
   See docs at ? CODA manual link on Octave-forge site.
