In my MinGW / MSYS environment, the CMakeList.txt I submitted generates 
no build errors.  I have not thoroughly tested VC++, but I did not 
notice any errors of this kind.

This issue I don't know.  The build does not produce an error, so 
there's no feedback here.  Maybe you should put an #error directive in 
your code somewhere, to verify that what you want to happen is actually 
happening?  Or a test in CMakeLists.txt itself.  Anyways, I just worked 
from what's in darcs.  I didn't make any changes here, except to format 
the lines differently for readability.

The response is "; loading library srfi-1".  Is that a sufficient test 
for being in working order?

Discovered a different gotcha though.  csi does not work under the MSYS 
shell.  I had to use a regular plain old Windows console shell.  This is 
not a big deal, but it'll need to be documented before MinGW / MSYS 
users pull their hair out.

I will conjure it.
