Details:

E.g., octclip:

:
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


This due to cset
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c4d80b9d2898
where "desc" was accidentally (I presume) dropped from
pkg/private/default_prefix.m's input arg list.

I'll push a fix as soon as I have the bug number.
