It seems like CUTEr is non-free software (it does not allow for
commercial use), so I don't think we're allowed to interface with it.
Perhaps the Matlab interface can be used directly (Octave does support
MEX) ?

I don't think any clear-cut criteria exists, but in general, things
should go into Octave core if
1) they are in Matlab core, or
2) they are of very general use.
In terms of optimisation, I would _guess_ that things should go into
Octave core if they are in Matlab core (for compatibility), and
otherwise in the 'optimization' package.
