I tried your code, it compiles okay, but fails to run:

octave:1> autoload ("__help_browser_add_path__", "help_browser.oct");
octave:2> __help_browser_add_path__ ("core", "core_html");
error: help_browser.oct: undefined symbol: gtk_dispatcher

The error goes away if I compile like this:

mkoctfile -o help_browser.oct help_browser.cc __init_gtk__.cc [options]

However, Octave segfaults when the functions are called.  Am I missing
something?  I adapted your code for Octave 3.0.1 (patches attached below)
and this may be the cause of the problem.
