OK, here's a new patch and the ChangeLog entries.

Michael.

ChangeLog:

2007-10-26  Michael Goffioul <address@hidden>

    Makeconf.in: remove UNSETCOMSPEC trick; compilation under
    Windows now assumes only MiKTeX tools are used (and in the
    PATH variable)

doc/ChangeLog:

2007-10-26  Michael Goffioul <address@hidden>

    interpreter/Makefile.in, faq/Makefile.in, liboctave/Makefile.in: do not
    use --output option argument for texi2[dvi|pdf] as it's not supported
    by MikTeX, use renamed temporary files instead; use $(sepchar)
    for path separation when building TEXINPUTS; remove use of
    UNSETCOMSPEC trick.
