    That site no longer offers Windows downloads.

-  Pre-built versions of librsvg and its dependencies can be found in
-  one of these places:
-
-  1. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/
-
-     This site includes a minimal (as much as possible for librsvg)
-     build of the library and its dependencies; it is also more
-     up-to-date with the latest upstream versions.  However, it
-     currently only offers 32-bit builds.  For building Emacs, you
-     need to download from this site all of the following *-bin.zip
-     archives:
-
-       librsvg, gdk-pixbuf, cairo, glib
-
-     The 'bin' archives on this site include both header files and the
-     libraries needed for building with librsvg and for running Emacs.
-     The librsvg archive includes all the shared libraries needed to
-     run Emacs with SVG support; the other 3 packages are required
-     because the compiler needs to see their header files when
-     building Emacs.
-
-  2. GTK project download site for Windows (see above for 2 URLs,
-     either for 32-bit builds or 64-bit builds)
-
-     This is the official Windows download site of the GTK project.
-     Its builds of librsvg are fatter, but are currently the only
-     alternative for 64-bit builds.  The easiest way to obtain the
-     dependencies required for building from this site is to download
-     a pre-bundled GTK+ development environment for Windows.  If you
-     would nevertheless like to download only the packages that are
-     strictly required, then, as of the time of this writing, here's
-     the list of GTK+ packages you will need:
-
-        librsvg, pango, freetype-2.4.11, freetype-2.4.2, croco, cairo,
-        glib, gdk-pixbuf, fontconfig, libpng-1.4.x, libpng-1.5.x,
-        libffi, libxml2, zlib
-
-     The GTK download page provides 2 separate archives for each
-     package: a 'bin' (binary) archive with programs and DLLs, and a
-     'dev' (development) archive with header files, import libraries,
-     and pkg-config files; download and install both archives for each
-     package you need.  (Sources of each package are available in a
-     separate, 3rd archive.)
-
-     As you see, some libraries for using this site's librsvg are
-     needed in more than one version -- this is because librsvg and
-     some of its dependencies were linked against different versions
-     of those libraries, and will look only for those DLLs when you
-     invoke SVG function.  So there's a bit of "DLL hell" involved
-     here, but at least in theory this should work, as each library
-     will dynamically link only against its dependencies, even if
-     another version of the same library is already loaded.  In
-     particular, at least 2 different versions of libpng will have to
-     be installed on your machine.  When you install these libpng
-     versions, be sure to keep the header files and the pkg-config
-     files in sync, i.e. install both the 'bin' and 'dev' archives of
-     the same libpng version together.

   To use librsvg at runtime, ensure that librsvg and its dependencies
   are on your PATH, or in the same directory as the emacs.exe binary.
   If you are downloading from the ezwinports site, you only need to
   install a single archive, librsvg-X.Y.Z-w32-bin.zip, which includes

-  'bin' archives for each of the libraries mentioned above.

   If you think you've got all the dependencies and SVG support is
