AFAIR we decided to not include those libraries because if we did we 
would have to repackage the distribution if new libraries were released 
because of security problems. But I have to keep track of the image 
libraries for EmacsW32 so I can give some input about them.

But since someone mentioned here again that there are users that find it 
too much work to put everything together to get Emacs working on w32 
then maybe something like I package together in Emacs+EmacsW32 could be 
used?
