See the examples directory in the fixed package.. I don't really understand Windows builds.. Might it be possible to flag the OCTAVE_API macro in the fixed type and build under cygwin, mingw and MSVC linking against the oct-file rather than an external DLL. If that is the case, I'd say we get rid of the DLL complete and do it that way.
Unfortunately I don't have a build platform for Octave under windows and can't really test this idea.
