Hmmm. This perhaps rather stretches the definition of "no-deps". At the
moment, I include libXpm because historically it was always distributed
with the built emacs (although emacs will run without it).
The problem is that the libXpm.dll I use is very carefully selected. It
isn't actually from msys and I always use the same one (on the basis
that libXpm is never, ever going to be updated), because I had
significant problems with some versions of libXpm from Msys having
dependencies (libwinpthread, I think).
So, I think that there is a decision point here. I could make the
"no-deps" download what it says it is, and have no deps (including
libXpm). As the version with deps is now the default suggested option
this might more sense. Otherwise I risk the no-deps version getting more
dependencies in an unpredictable manner.
