When trying to create a zip file of the MXE distribution I use './mk-dist
--stable' (no installer, just zip file). There seems to be a race
condition somewhere in the script because I get the following output:
rik:~/wip/Projects_Mine/mxe-octave: ./mk-dist --stable

And indeed, there is no octave-gui.exe in the bin directory of the
resulting zip file.
