Then that's why you get nil. In your case, you cannot expect to have
PNG images displayed as images.

Not in Emacs 23, which is what this bug is about.

There isn't one, I think. You could use image-search-load-path to see
if Emacs finds something (e.g., map it over the corresponding part of
image-library-alist). Not sure why would you need that, though.
> And shouldn't we be delivering such DLLs with Emacs?
There are licensing issues with some of them. We distribute the XPM
library, which is the minimum required for displaying the tool-bar
icons in color. It should be downloadable from the same place where
you get the precompiled binaries.

See nt/INSTALL (search for "image").

The latter; see nt/INSTALL.

Nothing but bare hands.

That's because they are enabled by default, if Emacs can find the
necessary support libraries. PBM is built into Emacs, and the XPM
library is available together with Emacs.
