That depends on how much needs to be done. Some issues:

1) The main thing is the documentation, I cannot convert that to Octaves 
format, too much work has gone into structuring that nicely in another 
format (reStructuredText), and I would like to keep it in that format. 
Currently LTFAT comes in at around 300 functions, with a 180 page 
manual, http://ltfat.sourceforge.net/doc/ltfat.pdf

2) LTFAT is itself structured into directories, so it is already a 
collection of small "packages".

3) LTFAT is hosted on Sourceforge it a Git repository, and I would like 
it to stay there, as I can easily control who has write access, for 
instance if a ph.d. student needs to submit or cleanup a few files.

If we can just create a package specification file that installs the 
whole toolbox, it would probably be doable, but I don't know if that is 
acceptable for Octave forge, or if LTFAT becomes to "alien" compared to 
the rest of the website.

I might be able to create a script that converts reStructuredText to 
texinfo. Does texinfo supports Latex formulas, images and citations? If 
so, I can convert the TeX output. If not, I can convert the text output.

btw.: We will be at the OctConf (just not registered yet).

Cheers,
Peter.
