Re: 3.0 when?

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello Benjamin

cc. John

I understand your idea.
I am now preparing the Octave-Forge packages for my mingw distribution.
I will bundle extra libraries and header files to build Octave-Forge packages.

I would like add instruction page to build Octave-forge package when your 3.0.0 
will be realsed.

That might be a realistic solution.

Regards

Tatsuro
