Re: more mxe testing

Answering myself, now that I've had the chance to test the same build
on an actual win box.

Plotting with both gnuplot and fltk seem to work fine, although I
haven't tested exhaustively.

I don't see these types of errors at all on windows.

No problem on windows.

Here's what I see on windows: only the write mask bit has an effect on
file permissions, files will show up as either 666 or 444 depending on
a single read-only attribute. Moreover, if I create a read-only file
by setting umask(777), for example, unlink(file) fails to delete it
and returns -1. I have to first system(["chmod 666 " file]), then it
can be deleted.
