Well, downloading now seems to go reliably. So that's fixed.

But the error I described,

:
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/oct-qVNFk3/octclip-1.0.8/src'
copyfile 
C:\Users\philip\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-qVNFk3\octclip-1.0.8\src\_oc_polyboo
l.oct 
C:\Users\philip\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-qVNFk3\octclip-1.0.8\inst\x86_64-w64-mi
ngw32-api-v51
'desc' undefined near line 30 column 43
error: called from
    install at line 242 column 5
    pkg at line 394 column 9

remains....

From what I can see it is really an error somewhere in pkg.m's private 
functions. Hopefully I can have some time this weekend to look into it.
