It looks like this is working - I just downloaded and installed the same
binary from 21st Mar, moved the aubio-4.dll to bin and it still has
no .svg icons (they are only used in one palette - things like
fermata.svg and so on).
I then got up a terminal in the C:\Program Files\Denemo\usr\bin
directory and executed .\gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.exe and, as before it
appeared to do nothing at all.

I don't know if we could install gtk stuff built by the gtk people
themselves ...
