Done. Fetch https://mtmxr.com/octave-4.1.0+576c1a5187f3.tar.xz and drop
it into your mxe-octave build (updating src/default-octave.mk as
needed). Or apply the attached changeset and build from there (need to
run bootstrap to pull in the pipe module).

I'm assuming Olaf's simple pararrayfun would work as a test, or
something like this:

  [a, b] = pipe ();
  fputs (b, "Hello world\n\n\n\n");
  fflush (b);
  result = fgets (a)

If the call to pipe() errors, the module didn't work at all. If you see
the string "Hello world" from the call to fgets, then it may be working.
