All the information contained in that readme file has been made obsolete
when the support for octave MSVC binaries was dropped. So you
shouldn't pay to much attention to it and I guess that file should be removed
in further octave releases.

I don't think the link you mentioned points to the correct glob library. I'll
send you the one I use by private mail.
