These files / directories can be found e.g., here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Windows%20binaries/Octave%203.4.3%20for%20Windows%20MinGW%20Installer/

(in file  Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2_20111025.7z   unpack with 7-zip)

epstool should be in the /bin subdirectory, add subdirs /fig2dev and
/pstoedit to the PATH.
(you can do that in /share/octave/3.6.2/m/startup/octaverc, by doing
something like

setenv ("PATH", [ getenv("PATH")  pathsep 
"/full/path/to/Octave-3.6.2/fig2dev"  pathsep 
"/full/path/to/Octave-3.6.2/pstoedit" ]);

(watch out for line wrap, no space between getenv and ("PATH") )
(Note: forward slashes also work in Octave on Windows; backslashes might
have to be doubled to avoid errors)
