There are some remaining problems revealed by the test suite, but the
two people I spoke to reported that Guile 2.0.9 mostly works on mingw,
if configured with --disable-posix.

Yes.  Ideally our configure script would --disable-posix by default on
mingw, but for now it has to be specified manually.

    Thanks!
