I haven't looked at the way __extractpath__ works, but it seems that
it would be fairly easy to have it simply return what is between the
single quotes as a character string, then you could just write

  path (__extractpath__ (user_octaverc));

In any case, I don't see why __extractpath__ should return everything
including the comments in a cell array with one line per cell.
