Also, i noticed a few on your list that seemed curious, so i tried a few.

strings and fits failed as expected due to compilation issues.  matgeom
gave a few doc-cache warnings but installed fine. Note that there are some
Windows configurations with user Temp folder permission restrictions, and
for those cases setting a different Temp location within octave is
necessary for package installation. I'm not sure if that's might be the
cause of your larger 'failed' list than expected.
