If OctConf were to give out annual awards for contributions to Octave, I think 
Tatsuro deserves one for the work done on making sure there are up-to-date 
Windows installers and packages. Of course there are a ton of other people who 
also deserve awards, but his work in particular lets me tell a student “Go 
download and install from this link" and have it “Just work” about 99.8% of the 
time.
