Details:

In Octave 4.2.0 the possibility of pinning the Octave icon to the Windows
taskbar was first introduced (see bug #47527). With Octave 4.2.1 this does NOT
work any more (in the following sense).

Here is how to reproduce it (tested in Win7):

* install Octave 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 (via the official exe installer)
* test Octave 4.2.0:
** start Octave via the vbs script
** right click to the Octave icon in the Win taskbar -> attach to Win taskbar
** close Octave
** click on new taskbar icon
** result: Octave 4.2.0 starts properly
* remove this Octave 4.2.0 taskbar icon again
* test Octave 4.2.1:
** start Octave via the vbs script
** right click to the Octave icon in the Win taskbar -> attach to Win taskbar
** close Octave
** click on new taskbar icon
** result: Octave 4.2.0 (not 4.2.1!) starts

So the wrong Octave version is started by the created Win taskbar icon!

Maybe we need to adjust the content of the new appid feature in mxe-octave to
each Octave version?
