cd nt

configure --with-gcc --no-opt --enable-checking
--cflags -Ic:/xpm/include --distfiles c:/xpm/bin/libXpm.dll
--without-tiff --without-gif --with out-jpeg --without-png

mingw32-make dist

This should create 2 zip files in your nt directory which contain the 
binary distributions (full and bin only).

That's correct. libXpm.dll is the only file you need.

If you can't get it to work, do this:

mingw32-make install > build.log 2>&1

This will create a file build.log in nt with all the output from make. 
Send me the file offlist and I will try to help troubleshoot this.

For what it's worth, I just build and packaged the latest trunk and it 
worked fine.
