Strangely, the instructions and files work only for a couple formats I tried.

jpeg,png -- work perfectly

svg -- works, but so far not inline.  I.e., I can click on link and image
will show up in another Emacs buffer, but can't get it to show up inline.

tiff -- can't get this to work at all.  When clicking on it, it shows
character-mode garbage in separate buffer, along with error message.  This
is despite fact that dynamic-library-alist shows the same files as I copied
to the bin folder.

Not a huge deal for me, since jpeg and png are what I wanted most.  But
still seems a little odd; I have no idea what problems are with svg and tiff.
