I looked a little closer at the problem.

The Windows API headers declare DATE with this statement:
typedef double DATE;

So #undef'ing won't help us here.

I explored this option a little deeper. It looks like I can indeed avoid the 
windows includes by patching one of the guile headers.

I'm still waiting for the build to finish to see if it worked, but so far 
guile was compiled successfully with this patch.
