What isn't clear to me is whether this is a jhandles issue or an Octave issue. Did the GPL issue affect the 3.0.1 build that was previously available for Octave, or v0.3.3 of jhandles? More to my immediate concern, should I expect to be able to get an older version of jhandles working with Octave 3.2.4, or is it just broken on Windows altogether?
