The version of dlmread in octave-forge was significantly rewritten
earlier this year and I believe it address all of the compatibility
issues. Version 1.0.6 should include this version. If you are using
Windows then yes you need a compiler installed to get this function.
Otherwise just upgrade your Windows Octave binary to version 3.0.1 and
you'll have the new version of the io package.
