Didn't find this before. I thought, the sourceforge version is the
newest available on W32. Anyway, I've pulled the newest build from
ourcomments.org and X-Face support works fine with this version. So,
my problem is solved.

Yes, I knew that already and installed it on my machine, as I wrote in
my first message.

I use compface-1.5.2 from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/compface.htm

It comes as a W32 install kit: compface-1.5.2.exe

icontopbm can be found in Netpbm tools found at:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/netpbm.htm

It comes also as a W32 install kit: netpbm-10.27.exe

After installing the packages by just starting the executables, you
have to extend the PATH environment variable on your system to allow
emacs, to find them. Normally they install in:
c:\programme\gnuwin32\bin
