That would probably be a useful feature to have.  Would someone like
to contribute a set of functions for dealing with sockets (bind,
accept, listen, gethostbyname, etc.)?

That would also be a nice feature.  I've not tried embedding the
interpreter in any other programs, but maybe it would not be that
hard.  Already, Octave is mostly implemented in a set of libraries.
The only code that is not in a library is in the file octave.cc.
