If the package manager let's you add packages to the path, i.e.
  pkg load package_name
the user can then simply add the needed packages to the .octaverc file.
We could have a short-hand command that adds all packages to the path,
i.e.
  pkg load all.

This means packages don't get loaded automagicly, but isn't that okay?
In R, you have to load you packages manually in a similar way.

Is it? I'm probably misunderstanding things, as I don't really see the mess.
