Cygwin install - instrument-control loads but nothing works

[User1116]

Hello All,

I've installed Octave 4.0 through Cygwin and have been struggling with the
instrument-control package.  I can load the package but even the simple
serial interface does not seem to exist:

octave:1> version
ans = 4.0.0
octave:2> pkg load instrument-control
octave:3> exist("serial")
ans = 0

I have this package working on my native windows install but I'm trying to
get it going in Cygwin to get the VXI11 interface
(http://wiki.octave.org/Instrument_control_package).  I will eventually have
to find rpcgen in cygwin for that interface but I'd like to get basic serial
working first.
