Thank you for your hints, Tom.

This would be an alternative to a pipe (though my Debian system seems
not to include this package). But as you say:

This is interesting and would work with pipes too --- I did not find
an xml-package in octave-forge or any documentation regarding xml
within octave --- where is that code?

This I do not understand. The cell arrays would have arbitrary
contents, so I do not think this would work.
The xml code would be a possibility if it can produce byte strings,
not just files. Still I think since "save" and "load" obviously have a
dedicated and working serialization code, it would be the best to make
them work with file descriptors (or with sockets).
