Follow-up Comment #2:

Your solution is quite elegant, as get_help_from_file parses the function
file and then deletes the function before inserting it in the symbol table.
Though it means that the function file has to be parsed every time the help
string is requested. I tend to read the help text several times so it would
make more sense to me to do something similar to what you propose when loading
the mex-file itself so the help string might be cached.

I just pushed the change

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/a61d7248627c

that fixes this issue based on your idea.

Thanks
D.
