Successful build and test of octave-2.1.30 on win95

[Billinghurst, David (CRTS)]

Pleased to report a successful build and test of octave-2.1.30 with
cygwin-1.1.1 on win95. Configured and built OOTB. Latest cygwin has allowed
dejagnu testsuite run to completion on win95 for first time.  Well done.

Needed to run the testsuite using  "make RUNTEST_FLAGS="--host
i686-pc-cygwin"
Had five testsuite failures - all seem to be related to win95 unfeatures,
namely
        FAIL: octave.test/system/umask-1.m
        FAIL: octave.test/system/getgrent-1.m
        FAIL: octave.test/system/getgrgid-1.m
        FAIL: octave.test/system/getgrnam-1.m
        FAIL: octave.test/system/setgrent-1.m
