Since a classdef object is just a special type of octave_value object 
internally, then yes, it should definitely be possible to define a 
built-in classdef class but as far as I know, we don't currently have 
any examples for how to do it.  As the tiff object is not the only one 
that we will likely want to define this way, we should probably try to 
define an interface that makes this job easy.
