As I posted just a few days ago, I think we can make this happen if we
build binary packages for Cygwin and arrange for them to become part of
the core Cygwin binary package archive.
I can help get the process started (I have some scripts for building
Cygwin packages of Octave to get you going), but I can't be the one to
build and upload packages on a regular basis because I simply do not have
the time to do it.
As I have said a number of times on this list, it won't happen unless
someone (or some group) volunteers to do the work.
The people who want Octave to improve on Windows systems will have to get
involved.

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?
4) Which version of Gnuplot should we use?
I only ask these questions because I haven't been paying attention to
these issues for the last 6-9 months.
