I am not sure that the msys+mingw subdirs included with the octave 7z
archive are properly set and configured for full msys functionality. I have
constructed these subdirs from Tatsuros archives, and adjusted the
environment to support basic mkoctfile functionality from within octave.

I suggest that if you wish to use wider functionality, you will install and
properly configure msys and mingw on your system, and adjust the env. vars
which are set by ocraverc to use your installed msys and mingw instead of
these provided by the 7z archive.
