I know this can happen, but this is not a problem. A symbol can appear 
several times in the
def file without producing an error. Note that this situation (removing 
objects files and recompiling)
implies you 're hacking octave with MSVC, and I guess this won't happen 
that much :-)

That should be possible. I'll have a look.

Forgot it (I have it locally, but it's not in my patches).
