Sorry to hear that. It sounds like you don't have time for Octave
development either. In that case, I recommend you don't use the GUI,
which is only in development stages right now. You will find it a very
frustrating experience otherwise. You may find this a suitable
replacement for now, an early fork of the GUI:

Should you find the time to hack on Octave, the most promising
approach for creating Windows binaries, sanctioned by lead dev jwe, is
to cross-compile from a GNU system using MXE, not with VS2010:

I recommend you get a GNU virtual machine to do development. It is far
more pleasant to use a free OS to work on Octave than a non-free one.

Again, if you find the time, you could read about hg:
