If you want to install octave on multiple computers as you suggested 
earlier, you could download these files along with the base cygwin 
packages you want to include, and you could create a CD containing all 
of these and use the "install from local media" option in the cygwin 
installer to install these on other computers. I assume you could also 
create your own package with the .oct files you want to distribute as well.
