Yes I know that there are some packages that have additional external 
dependencies.
I have not checked for *every* forge package to install on-the-fly.
Since dependency building is the bigger task on win32 the packages with 
external deps simply had lower priority.

Frankly, if a forge package building-and-installation exceeds a certain 
degree of complexity and makes it very tidysome to do for the average 
user in a win32 machine then I'll not put infinitly much effort into it.
If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
If one wants a smooth (and IMO in many aspects better) system, I suggest 
a switch to one of the various *nix distros.
Of course there are those who have no choice (like me), and here a 
working win32 octave is a *big* relief :)
Forge Packages are a very nice bonus, but I do not use all of them and 
thus had not checked for all of them to work.

do it step by step.
