From README.W32:
* Image support
Emacs has built in support for XBM and PPM/PGM/PBM images, and the
libXpm library is bundled, providing XPM support (required for color
toolbar icons and splash screen). Source for libXpm should be available
on the same place as you got this binary distribution from. The version
of libXpm bundled with this version of Emacs is 3.5.7, based on x.org's
libXpm library from X11R7.3.
This is obviously not correct since we are packaging libXpm 3.5.8 with
the current Windows binary releases. The sources for 3.5.8 are provided
in the directory where the Windows binaries reside.
I wanted to update the README.W32 file and was wondering where the 3.5.8
version came from and why there was a need to update from 3.5.7.
Thanks,
Christoph

Please just remove version information from the file. It isn't
important to say which version was used, and having this info there is
nothing but a maintenance headache.
Thanks.
