my fault. I should have realized that some users might need it.

Please do. There are lots of examples in the documentation that will
not work without it. Even if it is not distributed with maxima-5.9.3.exe
it should be provided as an additional package.

Isn't it possible to create a single "starpack"
with xmaxima and omplotdata? Most of the 1.5Mb are a copy of the
TCL/Tk binary for Windows, which is already inside xmaxima.exe

If it is not feasible, then could you please create omplotdata.exe
now and put it in the files section in Sourceforge?
In addition to what we currently have in
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4933

there could be something such as:
4-INSTALL-OMPLOTDATA-TO-USE-OPENMATH-IN-CONSOLE-MAXIMA
omplotdata.exe
