(shouldn't follow-up be directed to address@hidden, rather than

In a spare hour I've made a preliminary "win32 distribution" using the 
steps outlined in the attached text, based on your build environment. In 
hindsight I already spotted some room for improvement in this procedure, 
but anyway this works too.
Maybe we can add this text to the wiki later on.

Having done those steps, I'm able to install at least the java & io 
packages (using -forge option). They work OK AFAICS.

Installing the linear-algebra package doesn't work yet, due to a problem 
with gsvd.oct ("dggsvd_" and "zggsvd_ not found").
I had the same issues with 3.4.2; but Nitzan seemed to do better there.

Anyway, I think your testing binary works good.

(And this week I'll try to prepare a new io pkg (bug fix release)
