This problem is taking too much time.  Unless the cygwin list can 
suggest something
useful, I'm going to use with Andy's solution of bundling all the 
octave-forge compiled
functions into octave.exe, but still allowing dynamic linking (which 
means adding
the --disable-lite-kernel option back in, or otherwise hacking 
src/Makefile so that
bundled DLD functions are static).  I'm not going to back-link to the 
exe since that
will require more configuration changes.  Feel free to contribute a 
better solution.

BTW, Andy has added the installer script and icons to 
octave-forge/admin/Windows.
If you have any thing you want to add (e.g., clear the existing version 
before
installing the new version), post your changes there as usual.
