Finally, I think packages like the one Agustin Barto has been working on are useful and some people may prefer them over the Cygwin packages. OTOH, if you have a fast connection to the net and want to install Cygwin anyway, you might find the Cygwin package system to be more convenient as it will allow you to install and upgrade Octave within an existing Cygwin installation.This really would be convenient for cygwin users with fast connections. Since many windows users I know will not use cygwin, Agustin's work will also be useful, especiallyif it can install from a cd image.
It should be possible to set up an NSIS install that detects the existing cygwin and uses that if desired. That way the same package covers all users.
