Could you teach me, what are the advances from or differences between
libxpm.dll from "xpm4.dll" or "libXpm-nox4.dll" ?

Now, we can get xpm4.dll easily from gnuwin32 homepage.(few years ago,
libXpm-nox4)

Thank you, I tried the DLL bundled with abovebinaries, then it works fine.

In my opinion,
    If your libxpm.dll has much advances than others, it should be placed
    at first in the alist. And it is better that the DLL can be take
    alone, not with huge package.
    If not, more popular one should be placed at first.

How do you think, Eli and Jason?
