Probably not... -.-  But I think this can be fixed by simply repacking
those files.

Anyway we should proceed to get 5.2.0 done soon.

The MXE target

   https://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/file/b34f5f5a2cac/src/release-octave.mk

is "too inflexible" to allow an non-alround admin like me to easily make
use of it.

If necessary, I will rebuild everything a third time.  But I need some
help by jwe to upload the octave tar.gz / .lz / .xz to the official
location and by some MXE maintainer to bumb the release-octave.mk to
5.2.0 with the respective checksum.

Thank you,
Kai
