Guile 1.4 on Cygwin/Win32

Guile 1.4 on Cygwin/Win32

[Marciano Siniscalchi]

Hi,

this is to report success in compiling the Guile 1.4 sources under Cygwin 
and Win32.

There is only one issue I would like to mention. The tarball contains a 
file called

and-let*.scm

in the guile-1.4/ice-9 directory. Unfortunately, "and-let*.scm" is an 
invalid file name under Win32, and it does not even get extracted from the 
tarball. I simply got it from elsewhere, renamed it to "and-let-star.scm", 
modified the makefile in guile-1.4/ice-9, and was good to go.

Since everything else works "as is", would it be appropriate to rename this 
one file so as to avoid the problems mentioned above? I understand Cygwin 
may not be a high-priority platform...

Marciano.

thanks for the reminder -- i've added a TODO item.  this will be fixed
in 1.4.1 by doing whatever we're doing to resolve the issue in 1.6.
