I got this with octave-6.0.0, crossbuild from November 2nd:

## <... uninstall windows-1.3.1...)

>> pkg -verbose -forge install windows
:
checking for winqueryreg in Octave... ./configure: line 2793: test: too many
arguments
no
:                                                                               
                          
including conditional functions
   winqueryreg
:
>> pkg load windows
warning: function
C:\Programs\Octave\Octave-6.0.0_20191102L\mingw64\lib\octave\packages\windows-1.4.0\x86_64-w64-mingw32-api-v53+\winqueryreg.oct
shadows a built-in function

... so there are two probably related issues, none of them a big deal
AFAICS:

1. a configure test seems to be incorrect;

2. a package function shadows a core function; looks to be a consequence of
1.
