Hello Tatsusro,

Thank you for contributing for the x64 windows installation package.

I have two notes (for now):

1. It seems that the package includes many leftovers from a previous
4.0.1-rc4 build (i.e. share\octave\4.0.1-rc4 subdir, *-4.0.1-rc4.exe files
in bin subdir etc). Maybe you have not cleaned up a previous build.

2. src/build_packages.m have
try_install database-2.3.2.tar.gz
instead of
try_install database-2.4.1.tar.gz
which is supplied with the package.

Nitzan
