Andrew,
do you want to start a flame war ?
Octave under cygwin is already packaged as 3.6.1 so it
installs out of the box easily.
2) save your xl file as comma or tab delimited, then use the dlmread
function:
X = dlmread("your file");
this is valid for any system, so it works also under cygwin
will read the data into the matrix X. Note that you must (at least it's
much simpler) remove anything that's not numeric before importing.

octave on cygwin is like octave on any unix around,
what exactly do you need for your simulation ?
