Does it have to be in the installed files or can you search for it in
the source or build directories also? Or can the script that creates
the installer find it elsewhere and copy it somewhere that nsis can
see?

The octave-logo.ico is being built but is no longer being installed to
the imagelib directory. The reason was that the ico format is only
needed for Windows, and the Windows packaging scripts should be able
to take care of putting the icon wherever it needs to be. But if we do
need to continue installing it, we can restore it to the imagelib
directory.
