For the record, I still compile octave with MSVC. It is required because
it defines what are the exported symbols (MSVC does not auto-export
symbols). But besides its use with MSVC, I can (should?) also be
used under GCC to defines what are the exported symbols and part
of the octave API, by using the visibility attribute.
