OK I have decided to give this a try.
I will only succeed if I get help for this first run through!
I have compiled Octave under cygwin about a year ago, so here are some 
questions.
1) Are there any problems with the latest Cygwin?
2) Which compilers  should I install with Cigwin?
3)Which version of octave should I do for general public distribution

I only ask these questions because I haven't been paying attention to 
these issues for the last 6-9 months.
