I'm very happy that you got Guile 3.0 working on Windows. Kudos for
that (and I guess we need to send big thanks to Mike Gran too).

What I don't really understand is why you want to add compatibility
with Guile 3.0.x for small x. Upstream completely breaks the normal
expectation from what you would find in a point release, by putting
features and even severely backwards incompatible changes (like
cross-module inlining in 3.0.8 *cough*), so I think this is definitely
going to be more work to keep supporting (in particular: testing) than
with dependencies that don't have this peculiarity. I'd rather define
a minimum version in the 3.0.x series that we want to support.
