I removed odepkg from the list of Octave Forge packages that are built in MXE Octave here:

The build rules and all local patches that we used to apply to odepkg (mostly to get it to compile with newer Octave versions) are still intact. So hopefully that will allow to get the new odepkg back easily once it is available.
