Btw, if there's no native MinGW port of Guile, then the MSYS2 port is
of little use.  Guile is being used as an extension language in an
increasing number of GNU packages (Lilypond, GDB, and Make, to name
just a few).  Since you cannot link MinGW programs against MSYS2
libraries, users will be unable to have Guile-enhanced MinGW ports
unless a native MinGW port of Guile is available.
