News (Good and Bad) on OfW

[Agustin Barto]

After some time of inactivity (exams, graduate thesis, etc.) I started 
working on OfW again. Here are the news:

Good News:

I made a new installer package that supports English and Spanish, using the 
new NSIS 2 system. Let me know if you can contribute with aditional 
languages (all you have to do is translate 5 or 6 short messages). I'll 
upload it tonight (GMT-3). I dropped the atlas+octave-forge from the 
package name (It's just too long).

Bad News:

1) The latest cygwin refuses to compile. A lot of people is complaing about 
this on the cygwin list but there isn't a definitive solution. The problem 
is with gcc and a library version mismatch within the source package. I 
can't solve this.
2) The latest ATLAS doesn't compile with the latest cygwin gcc. I 
downgraded to 3.2.1 and it compiled fine.
3) Octave 2.1.40 doesn't compile with the latest gcc. (I read about this on 
the list).
4) I've seen a new octave-forge but I haven't tried to compile it yet.
