When using setup.exe this morning, I got complaints from tar when
unpacking octave-forge: "error: unknown (or unsupported) file type `K'".
I believe this is coming from tar, meaning you packaged with a newer
version of tar than cygwin's current 1.13.25, using options that the older
tar chokes on.  Hopefully, this will go away when I get tar 1.15.1 working
(I'm still tracking down a textmode issue), but in the meantime, you may
want to consider repackaging.
