Better install symbolic-win-py-bundle-2.2.4.zip, google for "symbolic octave
bundle"

??? AFAIK fftw is not an OF package but rather a dependency for core Octave
and needs to be present when Octave itself is built. 
Again AFAIK, fftw3 (AFAIU a better fftw version) is already built as a
dependency for mxe-octave. So I'm wondering why you need fftw at all.
