As far as I know, GUILE_LOAD_PATH is an environmental variable that lily
uses to find the "ice-9" directory; it should be a cygwin style path, e.g.
//c/cygwin/usr/share/guile/1.3.4

Although I have no idea why it didn't find it in the default directory where
you untarred it...  Does it work from bash?

Good idea!

BTW, this stupid email program may have added a spurious "file:" in front of
the cygwin path above:  If so, ignore the "file:" part.
