Fwd: GNU Guile 3.0.7 released

Dear all,

 I would need some help to check the status of Guile 3 on Windows. Could somebody check if it compiles and run fine?

I think that if Windows support is not good this is a problem for us.

Best
Max

> Compared to the previous stable series (2.2.x), Guile 3.0 adds support

> Guile is an implementation of the Scheme programming language, packaged
> for use in a wide variety of environments.  In addition to implementing
> the R5RS, R6RS, and R7RS Scheme standards, Guile includes full access to
> POSIX system calls, networking support, multiple threads, dynamic
> linking, a foreign function call interface, powerful string processing,
> and HTTP client and server implementations.
> 
> Guile can run interactively, as a script interpreter, and as a Scheme
> compiler to VM bytecode.  It is also packaged as a library so that
> applications can easily incorporate a complete Scheme interpreter/VM.
> An application can use Guile as an extension language, a clean and
> powerful configuration language, or as multi-purpose "glue" to connect
> primitives provided by the application.  It is easy to call Scheme code
> from C code and vice versa.  Applications can add new functions, data
> types, control structures, and even syntax to Guile, to create a
> domain-specific language tailored to the task at hand.
> 
> Guile 3.0.7 can be installed in parallel with Guile 2.2.x; see
> http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Parallel-Installations.html.

> A more detailed NEWS summary follows these details on how to get the
