Works fine; thanks!
Comments:
1. This stuff is not obvious.
2. Consider updating GNUWin32 or asking them to update the site.
3. The README.W32 mentions the site you just cited. But it also
mentions GnuWin32. The README.W32 should make clear just what
you need (which versions) and where to get it (all!). Mention
any considerations about versions such as what you described.
4. Emacs should also support *.ico files (MS Windows icon images).
AFAIK, none of the downloads listed provide this support.
Tassilo Horn suggested installing ImageMagick to get icon
support, but I did that and it didn't work. He has since said
that he suspects that Emacs needs to built with ImageMagick
present for this to work (icon support).
This should not be so complicated. Windows users - above all other users (since
more Windows users are not programmers) - should be given a failsafe,
braindead-simple way to get images to work in Emacs.
Just one opinion. Thx.
