I think you should
- update octaveX11.bat
- test that it really works with gnuplot in cygwin's /usr/local/
  as well as it is being in Octave's directory locally
- test that printing to postscript works
- test that printing to other format works
  (I'm not sure whether I have enabled png/jpg ... if not, let me know)

and if all is successful, then you can announce it elsewhere.

BTW, is mkfifo() working on Octave on Windows? Few years ago, I've written 
ginput.m which needs this. Unfortunately this works only in Octave 2.1 but 
not in Octave 3.0 (it needs graw()). I've just sent a mail to the Octave ML.
