All of the patches necessary to build a mingw release of octave are in
the CVS, its the dependencies that cause all of the problems. However,

I'm ready for MinGW when you guys are. I'm done for the
week, check out my latest version. Now it has a semi-serious text
editor. It does the syntax highlighting, auto-indentation, cut, copy,
paste, indent-selection and so on and I've gone through it to clean it
up so it doesn't close too easily without saving and so on. It also
guesses the "Save as..." filename like Matlab. In fact, I could easily
spin off this widget as a programmer's text editor as is. It would be
nice if it were tabbed, but that's not really essential, right?

By the way, this probably wouldn't go in octave itself, it doesn't
really need to be compiled along with it. Maybe octave-forge could be a
good home for it, you guys decide.
