Octave 3.8.0 and packages (Windows

[ijourneaux]

I was able to install Octave 3.8.0 without any special issues. When I try to
install the packages I need, I get several package installation errors. 

Of particular importance to me is the image package and its dependencies.
The problem seem to be with the specfun package.
