Unless someone comes forward willing to do the work involved in finding 
an up to date version of each library that builds on Windows, then it 
isn't going to happen. I put in the work for the XPM library, because 
without that library the toolbar and other images built into Emacs do 
not display correctly. For other formats, I don't think the benefits 
outweigh the effort required.

PS it is not clear from the previous thread which you posted some 
messages from what the consensus was. We started talking about incuding 
libXpm (only) in Emacs CVS, and in fact Richard seems to be disagreeing 
with bundling any image libraries in the binary, and instead 
distributing them alongside Emacs which is what I was questioning, since 
I think the "other people say that would be a pain"  was actually in 
relation to including libXpm in CVS.
