Good to know and I'll remove that stuff.

The manual appears to be out of date on this?

Either way, those weren't it. Windows, as usual, requires silly
maneuvers to get things working properly. I loosened my google hunting
to emacs in general and found this beauty:

I had to track down a bunch of .dlls and copy them into my Emacs bin/
directory. From there it worked. For the record, I added the following
to my bin/ dir:
libpng.dll
libpng12.dll
libpng12-0.dll
libpng13.dll
libpng14-14.dll
libjpeg62.dll
zlib1.dll

Now I have jpg and png viewing abilities in Org.

John
