confirmed on my builds

on 3.4.0
Makefile:OCTAVE_API_VERSION = api-v47+
Makefile:OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER = 47
configure.ac:OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER="47"

0n 3.4.2
Makefile:OCTAVE_API_VERSION = api-v45+
Makefile:OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER = 45
configure.ac:OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER="45"

it seems caused by :
------------------------------------------
2011-06-15  John W. Eaton  <address@hidden>

        Version 3.4.1 released.

        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Version is now 3.4.1.
        (OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER): Now 45.
        (OCTAVE_RELEASE_DATE): Now 2011-06-15.

        Files: configure.ac

        maint: minor update to NEWS file
-------------------------------------------


I will wait clarification before packing for cygwin
