Best Way to Load a Structure

[Bill Denney]

So, while building the object graphics system, I found that I need to load 
a large structure for the validator (lots of function handles and some 
arguements in the structure) and for the root object (lost of various 
things but mainly strings and matrices).

So far, I've created a function that just returns the structures to me, 
but it seems as though creation of a structure at the build time and then 
saving it would be better and faster (after octave is built, run this 
script and save these default values).  It seems as though this will be 
faster, but I don't see this happening at any other place in the tree 
(though I could easily be missing something).  This could also make it 
relatively straightforward for a user to set their own defaults.

I see several pros and cons to this idea, but it should almost definitely 
make everything faster for creating objects.
