bug#10474: Building guile 2.x under mingw + msys

[Andy Wingo]

Hi Eli,

I'm terribly sorry for the delay here.  I realize you've probably paged
out all of these patches from memory, but I would like to pick up the
loose ends.

I see you got this into gnulib in November
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-11/msg00090.html).
I just updated our Gnulib so we have it now.  Thanks!

This change was made in Guile on 25 January 2012.

Fixed in Guile on July 6 2012.

Just added the module; thanks.

Added; thanks.

I'll deal with the patches in a separate mail.
