David,
I did a mingw build back in January, and as I recall I had two types of
problems. One was the readline problems you already cited. The other was
that there were a few calls to fork(), which of course don't exist in mingw.
A few of the fork() calls were internal, in liboctave\mkdir.c, rename.c, and
rmdir.c, which I didn't quite understand. Then there was the fact that
octave can be multithreaded through the use of fork. This would either need
to be disabled to get a "single-threaded octave", or mapped to the native
windows multithreading calls.
Here is my old message, which isn't very informative...

Sounds like you've gotten further than I did...good luck!
