Details:

Since a while urlwrite doesn't get loaded in MXE builds for Windows. (I
stumbled on this only because I found "pkg -forge" doesn't work anymore; these
days I usually invoke build_packages.m in the <mxe>/src subdir.)

Interestingly, urlread (in the same .oct file "urlwrite.oct") does work.

In an older 3.7.6+ MXE (mid September) it works fine. 
I tried copying over urlwrite.oct from that 3.7.6+ to 3.7.7+ but that made no
difference (to be expected as they're the exact same byte size).
Makes me wonder: is it something autoload related?

>> which urlread
'urlread' is a built-in function from the file libinterp/corefcn/urlwrite.cc
