I have now fixed the remaining issues raised by this bug report, with the exception of one: > 4. Better - much better - would be to include image support in GNU Emacs > out of the box. On MS Windows. And that is what users, especially new > users, EXPECT, and SHOULD expect. This is up to the person(s) who produce and upload the Windows binary distributions. FWIW, Jason Rumney, who did that in the past, explained his reasons not to include optional libraries here: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=4367#75 I'm therefore closing this bug report; if the fact that binary distributions on ftp.gnu.org do not include image libraries is still considered a problem worthy of a bug report, please submit a separate report for it, as this is no longer a development issue. Thanks.
