Thanks Jaroslav. I really appreciate your support on these issues.
Your solution fixes the problem.

I have attached the remaining patches that make octave compilable
under MSVC. I tried to split them into logical pieces such that it's
easier to discuss them. Some are trivial, others not.

patch_config: some fixes for configure checks
patch_export: missing xxx_API tags to export the required symbols
patch_extern_template: required "extern template" to avoid implicit
     template instantiation and duplicate symbols
patch_missing_return: missing return statement
patch_mkstemp: Win32 does not have mkstemp, so I emulated it
     with mktemp; this is required as the new help system needs
     a working version of mkstemp
patch_pthread: move pthread.h inclusion to the right location
patch_templates: help MSVC to resolve T determination
patch_texi2dvi: MiKTeX (that I use under Win32) has too low default
     value for save_size; I searched hard, but couldn't change that using
     some config file; this can be kept out octave source tree
patch_volatile: complete version of the fix from John regarding the
     problem with volatile variables (discussed earlier today)
support_cpp_scripts: compile C++ versions of mkoctfile, octave-bug
     and octave-config; based on non-empty $(EXEEXT); adaptation
     of Benjamin's patch

Michael.
