What I have, working, is the toolbar as it is now, with the symbol
toolbar, which I use personally from time to time.  I can make screenshots
of it.  Is there something more specific that you need?

XEmacs in windows is the worse plataform to demonstate the toolbar,
specially the symbols toolbar :-( The toolbar will demonstrate some XEmacs
bugs instead.  This one can be an argument to use with Fabrice.  With
windows, Emacs does much better in my personal opinion, since I get what I
expect: features working as documented (in the XEmacs toolbar, this is
*not* the case).

XEmacs in GNU/Linux is not problem IIRC, since I adapted the icons to work
with it (extra work) :-(

It must be a Windows CVS with image support (often not the case), like
found in 
  http://www.crasseux.com/emacs/

It is just grab libraries for image support that are mentioned, from the
GNUwin32 project
  http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

At home, I have a nice experience with Emacs CVS in windows.

Tomorrow I have time and I will make them.  If you have ideas, please tell
me.

Ps: I am sorry for not have too much time available.  Next week I defend
my thesis in Leiden (Netherlands), and I am quite busy with moving things
to Brazil (my country), organising the defense and goodbye party, and all
my free time is spend with having dinners with friends.  I expect to have
time to continue development when I arrive in Brazil.
