I have checked dependency of GraphicsMagick dll files. 
When I have updated Graphics Magick version from 1.3.7.to 1.3.12, libwmf is not 
used.
The GraphicsMagick dll files depends on libltdl-7.dll.
Octave does not supports wmf file for 'imread' so that it is not problem the 
GraphicsMagick prepared for octave for windows does not support wmf files.
Thank you for your suggestion.

Yes.  Why I place depedency dll files to octave bin directory is to make octave 
can be executed by without downloading build stuff.

If you make the set of octave package which includes 'pkg install' stuff, 
duplicated dll  files can be omitted.

I have misled. Sed is not required for usual octave execution.
Msys sed may be required for octave-forge install  because 'pkg install' uses 
Msys and MinGW.  I will remove bin/sed from octave-3.4.2.zip bin directory.

Thanks!!
