Here is an updated patch as requested.  It adds an optional extra  
parameter to the genpath() function in Octave to allow the user to  
specify a colon separated list of directories to exclude.  I also made  
to changes to the load-path.cc file to re-use the split_path()  
function for both splitting paths and splitting other strings with a  
delimiter.  Because of the use of the split_path function, I also  
changed the C++ version of genpath from using an string_vector to an  
std::list<std::string>.  Let me know if you think it needs any other  
changes.
