John,
two problems are still there

1) building in a separate dir, documentation fails as
   contributors.texi is expected in the build dir, but it is only
available in the src tree.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
make -C doc/interpreter ../../AUTHORS
make[3]: Entering directory
`/pub/cygports/octave/octave-3.3.92-1/build/doc/interpreter'
rm -f AUTHORS
/bin/sh /pub/cygports/octave/octave-3.3.92-1/src/octave-3.3.92/build-aux/missing
--run makeinfo -D AUTHORSONLY \
         --no-validate --no-headers --no-split --output AUTHORS preface.texi
preface.texi:82: @include `contributors.texi': No such file or directory.
makeinfo: Removing output file `AUTHORS' due to errors; use --force to preserve.
make[3]: [../../AUTHORS] Error 1 (ignored)
mv AUTHORS ../../AUTHORS
mv: cannot stat `AUTHORS': No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [../../AUTHORS] Error 1
----------------------------------------------------------


3) octave.info is updated/modified in the src tree


The date problem is solved.

I am updating the cygwin package test to 3.3.92.

Marco
