Oh, sorry I didn't see that as I figured that bug had already been dealed with.
I'll look at your patch later on.

FTR [OT] I have another patch in the making for including stdint.h to deal with a bug I reported on the maintainers ML. That fix will allow to build more OF packages with 64-bit mxe builds

See also https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?43164 where I had posted a similar change, but not pushed to mxe.

Here's a changeset for MXE-octave to start Octave on Windows trough batch files.
The aim is to clean up the environment so that user PATH settings won't interfere with operation of Octave.

The PATH setting in the batch files is open to discussion; for now I only entered the bare minimum needed to start Octave. Maybe it is better to just put Octave's bin/ subdir first and append the original PATH.

In the future other environment settings can be entered to the batch files; those settings are local to Octave's slot.

Note that the batch files need CR/LF EOLs to be able to be edited by notepad (right clicking the shortcut and clicking "Edit" should bring it up); notepad.exe doesn't properly recognize LF EOLs.
