I don't know if this helps with your Windows requirement, but I have
gotten Guile 1.5.6 to build under Cygwin. I never tried to get it to build
under Mingw32. It was rather a task; I needed new versions of some build
tools (libtool 1.4d and auto(make, conf, header, local) 1.6.1), and to run
the auto* things instead of using the configure script that comes in the
tarball.
There were a couple of edits in Makefile.am files to get everything to
build, and at least source file edit. I also recall having to hand fix a
few things as the build ran into trouble, such as creating symlinks to
libraries, etc.
The end result is a DLL version (guile.exe is about 4K); presumably it's
simpler to get it all statically built.
Just as an aside, it also only will do the guile-tut version of
recursive-factorial up to 387, after that having a stack overflow. Since
the tutorial shows it working with 500, and it fails at the same 388 on
different machines (NT 4.0 sp6a 128MB && Win98 SE2 512MB), this seems more
of an internal limitation rather than an external resource constraint.
I have to admit I don't have a solid grasp of "proper tail-recursion"
where the tail recursion is within an expression, rather than just
"falling off the end."

I have a unified diff but it's about 3MB since it includes the files that
get created by auto* (Makefile, Makefile.in, configure, etc).
