AFAIR we decided to not include those libraries because if we did we would have to repackage the distribution if new libraries were released because of security problems. But I have to keep track of the image libraries for EmacsW32 so I can give some input about them. But since someone mentioned here again that there are users that find it too much work to put everything together to get Emacs working on w32 then maybe something like I package together in Emacs+EmacsW32 could be used?
