UDFs with XAMPP on Windows XP

I've scanned through the manual and a handful of google hits but I'm
still unclear, given that I'm using mysql 5.0.33 through xampp on
windows XP what steps should I take to incorporate the example UDFs.
Where are they and how can I use them?

Any help appreciated.

Matthieu describes all the steps he used (on linux though) to install
the thing.
