Hmm, I was just about to push a change to mxe-octave to remove
notepad++ from the files we distribute.  Do we really need to continue
including an editor with Octave now that the GUI has a reasonably good
editor?  I'm willing to reconsider as notepad++ only adds about 5MB to
to the a zip file that is already around 150MB.
