The reason for the separate DLL is that I also linked the DLL against
other oct-files for oct-files using the fixed type. See the examples
directory.

It worked under cygwin when I wrote it... I forced the DLL to be in the
same directory as octave.dll and it worked.. I don't think the makefile
does this though and it has to be done by hand. I wouldn't mind if you
suggested a fix?
