For now, create an Octave function with DEFUN and install it in the
same way that the DLD-FUNCTIONS/__init_fltk__.cc file uses (search for
add_input_event_hook in that file).

If needed, we can later change Octave so that the DEFUN is not needed.

 Or use command_editor::add_event_hook(). It's lighter than using the interpreter...
