Paul,

I have never (recently) had an interest in win9x, but I recall that we
had a problem with dynamic linking on these systems. Because of that
there was some interest in maintaining a static only build of
octave+octave-forge.

What is the status of this? If its no longer a problem, then it
simplifies octave packaging considerably.

Andy
