     As far as sparse matrices are concerned, maybe the Sparse++, IML++ and 
     the forthcoming TNT libraries could help. I've seen them applied in 
     larger CFD projects and they seem to work flawless. Furthermore TNT 
     aims to become to numerics what STL in for standard data structures.

Octave doesn't provide a sparse matrix data type (yet).  If anyone is

I don't know what these functions are.  Perhaps you mean gcf and gca? 
If so, Octave doesn't provide an interface compatible with Matlab's 
handle graphics.  I see no reason that it could not, except that no
     
one has yet done the work to make it happen.
