Yes, I have Guile built and running under Win95 with VisualC++. The
code patches are pretty clean; it's the build process that needs some
thought. I used the IDE to build it, but the Makefiles and such are
completely different from the unix ones. This is bad. A MS tools
build of Guile should indeed use the MS make program, but it would be
best if it were generated automatically from the Makefile.am files, or
something like that.

If you are serious about this, perhaps I can give you what I have and
we can clean things up together.
