Ok a few comments. There two copies of the libs. That is octave.lib and
octave.lib.2.9.9+. Can one of these be removed to reduce the package
size? The GPL is a distribtion license and not a user license. You don't
need to accept it for it to be valid. If you don't accept it then
standard copyright laws apply and you have NO rights to distribution.
Therefore, the "I Accept" is completely redundant in the install.

A question more that a comment. Where do the support libraries such as
hdf5 live? Are they bundled into octave.dll? Did you solve the issue
with atlas?
