The wiki page was wrong in that respect. Wait...

I was about to write "Code generation of g-wrap doesn't (yet) work,
because it needs to load the DLL srfi-13-14, which doesn't work" ---

BUT now that I looked closer to this error message, it was simply a
matter of copying the installed libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1-1.dll to a
filename without the last trailing "-1", i. e.
libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.dll . With this last guile fixing, I am
able to run the code generation on windows. (Albeit only when the
current working directory is on a local hard drive, not on a SMB network
filesystem.)

Actually I don't understand why we distribute the g-wrap generated file
anyway -- in Makefile.am these files *always* have a dependency on the
top-level config.status, which obviously will be generated *after*
unpacking each tarball, which in turn means *all* generated g-wrap files
will be newly generated anyway.
