Nice.  I guess this will work as well with Emacs 22.2 (pretest),
right?

On emacs-devel[1], Jason wrote that the benefits won't outweigh the
effort required to include the DLLs in the binary distribution of
Emacs 22.2.  As I never tried to compile these DLLs, I don't know if
some help from others may bring the DLLs into the binary distribution.

If the image DLLs won't be included in the final Emacs 22.2 for
Windows, it would be nice if your precompiled AUCTeX package would
include them or if you could provide an additional zip file containing
the DLLs.

Bye, Reiner.
