    You have to pass the option --distfiles C:/FileToIncludeInDistribution
    to configure.bat. This is mainly for libXpm.dll.

    configure.bat will fail with an error if it can't find any files in
    the specified directory.

    Then just run `make dist' (or `mingw32-make dist') and the binary
    distributions will be built, zipped and placed in the nt/ directory.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for this, Christoph.  Um, followed the above, having removed
libXpm.dll from \bin.

c:\emacs-24.0.50>configure --with-gcc --no-opt --enable-checking
--cflags -Ic:/xpm/include --distfiles c:/xpm/bin/libXpm.dll
--without-tiff --without-gif --with out-jpeg --without-png

libXpm.dll wasn't copied to \bin, was it supposed to?
