A few strange warnings and failures I saw while running the test
suite, which I couldn't figure out or couldn't find a solution for:
1. Even after using -export-dynamic, the tests in foreign.test which
use 'qsort' fail:

ERROR: In procedure dynamic-func:

This is because on Windows, 'qsort' is not in the program itself,
it is dynamically loaded from a system shared library. Maybe this
test should be skipped on Windows. (Btw, how does one condition
OS-specific code in Guile?)
2. Failures in ports.test:
Running ports.test
FAIL: ports.test: file: binary mode ignores port encoding
FAIL: ports.test: file: binary mode ignores file coding declaration
Should I worry about this?
3. Emacs-lisp test display warnings about overriding Scheme procedures
-- is that something to worry about?
