The problem with the svg-icons on windows should be fixed before, i.e.:
- Putting the directory "plugins" in the right location or
- generating png-files from the svg-files before compiling the gui
I think the first one would be the best way but there are several
possible locations given in the internet (e.g.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4318990/svg-icons-not-showing-up-in-qt-release-build-in-windows)
and on my system, I only get one working and the success depends on the
executed file (octave.bat, octave-gui.exe or octave.exe). If the
behavior really varies with the target system, this might be hard to fix.
