The lack of sys/socket related feature on windows are obviously origin of the
errors.

One idea to overcome this issue to use gnulib implementation of posix headers
and libraries.   I have tried this approach but have not gotten the successful
results.

The other way is to write windows related parts using the winsock on Windows
compiler (MSVC and MinGW). Unfortunately, I do not have knowledge of winsock
programming.
  

# The current optim(-1.3.0) package requires parallel package:


octave:1> pkg -forge install optim
error: the following dependencies were unsatisfied:
   optim needs parallel >= 2.0.5

So this issue is better to be solve as soon as possible.
