I think it is this one
gtk-query-immodules-2.0.exe
however I will need to make another round trip to windows to find out
more as it turns out I have put these executions into a batch file -
probably in order to do the pipe to the loaders file.

Jeremiah knows about this on linux - it is a tricky area, the idea is
that you can just drop files/directories into git and not have to do
anything more for them to be included in the distribution.
On windows the install is just a bunch of cp -r commands in a bash
script done in mingw - everything from actions down is recursively
copied to 
Program Files/Denemo/share/denemo/actions
(hmm, I think I have the head of that path right, but I haven't got a
note of it, where you have the "actions" directory is right).

On my windows build it is the Installer (Inno) that knows where it goes,
the Inno instruction is:

Source: "C:\WinDenemo\share\denemo\fonts\Denemo.ttf"; DestDir: "{fonts}"; 
FontInstall: "Denemo"; Flags: onlyifdoesntexist uninsneveruninstall

where C:\WinDenemo\share\denemo\fonts\Denemo.ttf is my source directory.

When I searched for Denemo.ttf I found it is present in C:/WINDOWS/Fonts
and I think that is where the installer is putting it, (although I did
some experiments hiding that copy and it was still found by Denemo on
startup. But that may be because it is in the user's home directory
under .fonts or something - wherever the user's home directory is on .
Moreover the windows file explorer was declaring the font still to be
present in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts even after I had moved it, so it may have
been cached by the OS or something, although it couldn't be opened...).

But I am sure really that the installer must be putting it in C:\WINDOWS
\Fonts since everything else is specific to denemo and that instruction
above is generic.

Here it is
address@hidden /cygdrive/c/program files/denemo/bin
$ ls *.exe
denemo.exe                       gspawn-win32-helper.exe
gdk-pixbuf-csource.exe           gtk-demo.exe
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.exe     gtk-query-immodules-2.0.exe
glib-genmarshal.exe              gtk-update-icon-cache.exe
gobject-query.exe                pango-querymodules.exe
gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe  pkg-config.exe

I see that I have put back irrelevant things (gtk-demo.exe) as well as
needed things after I got my fingers burnt trying to remove unused stuff
- the *spawn* helper in particular was needed.

Richard
