Details:

The original scenario is a portable installation of Octave on Windows.
Unlike other software (i.e. Eclipse Portable) Octave does not provide any way
to specify an alternative JVM as the one specified in the WINDOWS Registry
key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment

An option to use an Environment variable specifying the path to a certain
jvm.dll, that is queried before the registry key, would solve the issue.
