Yes, there'll be a new 1.4.7 in about a week.  If all goes well, I'll
have real internet access again this weekend.

Compiling under Windows should be possible, but it's not easy.  In
short, you need a full GNU development system.  You'll need the
development stuff from Cygnus (simply run Cygnus' setup.exe), you'll
need to compile Guile (using the patch that comes with the lilypond
cross build scripts
http://lilypond.org/gnu-windows/latest/cross.tar.gz, or using a recent
Guile from cvs (won't work with 1.4.7)), and you'll need a full
working set of TeX tools.

So it's probably easier to install Linux and cross compile for now.

Greetings,
Jan.
