Jason,

Would adding a command-line option to rebaseall that specifies
non-standard shared library extensions work?  That way, Jim could tell the
octave users to run rebaseall with the "--add-non-standard-dll-suffix
.oct" flag, and you won't have to worry about all the extra extensions for
shared libraries out there.
