4.0.1-rc3 candidate on Windows (was Re: 4.0.1-rc2 candidate)

[Oliver Heimlich]

Hi,

I have done a brief testing of the installer for Windows.

The icon is still broken on windows (bug #46758). The ico-file contains
4 variants of the logo, all are cropped. The 16x16 and 32x32 versions
are completely transparent.

During “pkg load all” I get the following warnings (next to the usual
shadow warnings):

> warning: addpath:

I unloaded the packages with shadowing functions (nan, specfun, tsa) and
did a __run_test_suite__ ({'S:/Programme/Octave-4.0.1-rc3'}, {}).  After
the test for ghkss (in tisean) took almost an hour, I have canceled the
tests.  You can find the log (up to this point) attached.

There have been many test FAILs. I will look into these later this day
and try to compare with the 4.0.0 release.
