This approach makes a few changes to src/Makefile

1. Mods to compile everything in DLD-FUNCTIONS

2. Mods to link to extra libraries, eg SuperLU

Also, I create a "src/octave" that has symlinks to
all the appropriate *.h files. That way a function
with includes <octave/oct.h> will work.

The instructions for this are in octave-forge/INSTALL.WINDOWS ,
but in a wordy descriptive format. I wan't sure if this
could be expressed as a patch or if we would need to
write a little perl script to do it.
