.sce files aren't built by build.sce script and they aren't loaded on
toolbox start. So this way is even worse.

I thought about this way too, but since Scilab has feature to support
many functions in one file and it loads them fine using "getf" function.
I think there should be a way to achieve the same behaviour for
libraries, otherwise it's very bad example of inconsistency in Scilab
and at least it should be documented in wiki page about toolbox
creation.

I don't want to populate files and brake logical structure (I have 7
files, each with about 5 functions). I think that I refuse using
build.sce and just change loader.sce to use "getf" function.

Thank you for your replay.
