I agree with Martin on this. Short of creating a process separate from 
Octave to handle the MPI communications, users would have to initialize 
once.

That would be great if you could test the code I posted earlier, I 
currently don't have access to a cluster. I have been developing with 
LAM by running multiple instances on one node.
