I catched.

For the cywgin binary I ported build.m from dev, and it has a
bug that it arises only with your type of tar file.

So it is not visible on other 4.0.2 but it should be visible from
anyone with the development build.

The changeset responsible is
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/2ee20a290d61

Carne expected that all tar files includes the directory entries,
but your has not it, so the package root is wrongly defined

octave:1> filelist=unpack("generate_html-0.1.11.tar.gz")
filelist =

}

[~, root_idx] = min (cellfun ("numel", filelist))
root_idx =  4

package_root = filelist{root_idx}
package_root = generate_html.0.1.11/NEWS

any idea how to replace the   min (cellfun ("numel", filelist))  ?
