I am pretty sure, yes.  I just pushed some patches to make sure this is
the case, altering load.c's logic to be more structurally similar to
boot-9.scm's and preferring backslashes on Windows.

So with these last commits, hopefully native MinGW builds are supported.
Would you mind testing again?  Please send a new mail to
bug-guile <at> gnu.org to track any new failures.

Thanks,

Andy
