mxe-octave is now updated for the change in download paths

ghostscript requires more than just updating the version and checksum 
for version updates, as it also uses makefiles and config files 
generated from native built ghostscript in order to set everything up 
correctly.

See src/ghostscript-mingw-* files in mxe-octave.
