Thanks Nitzan,

I'll try them in the next evenings.

BTW the upload site you used is a rather nasty one. One should click the
tiny "download" button at the bottom of the web page, not the big one next
to the archive name as that will lead one to a download manager (perhaps
riddled with malware, I obviously didn't try). 
To me this site looks extremely deceiving (on purpose I'd say).
In addition my desktop got littered with several pop-up windows that managed
to bypass by browser's pop-up blocker.

It may be a lot better if you could get permission to upload your 7z files
to octave-forge directly, or use dropbox or so.

Could you please describe how you built the binaries? and the patches needed
to build the octave-forge packages? I tried a few myself but got build
errors. I conclude that you have more insight, it would be nice if you could
share that.
I think I have asked this question before.....
