Thanks.

I would be happier, though, if the patch for open-process, whose last
version I submitted here:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2014-08/msg00015.html

would be admitted to the repository, as it fixes important
functionality that is currently unavailable in the MinGW build with
upstream sources.  AFAIR, the last communication about this patch was
here:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2014-08/msg00024.html
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2014-08/msg00041.html

I pinged about it a month later:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2014-09/msg00066.html

but got no responses.
