I would need to call libguile.dll:libc:free.  I would need to know to
which libc libguile.dll was linked.

BTW:  The standard libc for MinGW is 'msvcrt.dll'.  You get into trouble
      when you want to use another (native) compiler, like BorlandC or
      VisualC.

So what would be the correct solution without scm_free()?
