I don't think so, because using libltdl from libtool relies on .la
files in addition to the actual dynamically loadable files but we need
to be able to load single .oct or .mex files.  I think it would just
be confusing to users if we said a .oct or .mex file is now a
collection of files.  I.e, the .oct file is really a .la file that
names the real file that can be dynamically loaded.
