You could look at how image-dired.el or thumbs.el do it.
Both still use external ImageMagick support (bug#10758).

Can you elaborate on this?

I appreciate the answer, as it will ease implementing the use of convert.exe. 

My intent however is to write a fix, that makes this a default fallback for code that wants to use builtin support without the need to edit the third party source code. Finding out what functions and variables I need to emulate is the hard part here for me.

I can probably do it by comparing the defined variables in emacs on Cygwin and native Windows, but it would give a high risk of missing something. 

kind regards, Klaus
