I think the question is for an automatic conversion of m-files to C++... 
Basically creating a tree walker class that we can then build a new 
evaluator for normal operation, instrumented evaluator for the "profile" 
command is needed first. That is also the first step for other such 
things as

* Octave to matlab conversion tree walker
* Octave m-file to C++ compiler
* JIT

which is why I consider the tree walker class a major missing feature.. 
Pity I don't know enough about the parser (at least yet) to do anything 
about it myself..
