I have checked OctaveLibs.zip by the Avast virus checker, no virus detected.
Sometimes virus checkers will overestimate the potential of virus infection.

Please see octave-3.4.2.bat in bin directory. In that batch file, the example
of setting environmental variable is described. Using this I have installed
odepkg and miscellaneous octave-forge-packages as trial.
Supporting the octave-forge package are very tough work so that I have tried
only two (odepkg and miscellaneous) packages. (Because I use them in my daily
use of octave.)
More stuffs who work on windows build, package managing and etc. are required.
