Thank you for great job!  I downloaded both versions and tried
to build Maxima 5.9.3 pre-release on it.

With gcl 2.7.0 build failed on rand-mt19937.lisp module.
Gcl can compile this file but unable to load it.
Looks like an issue with package naming or something
like this.

With gcl 2.6.8 build went smooth but there is still
problem with gcl-xmaxima interaction.  Any Maxima question

is x positive?

puts xmaxima in infinite loop.  I reported this problem earlier.

Both these problems are not Windows specific they exist
on Linux as well.  So as far as very _Windows_ build
is concerned everything seems to be fine.

Congratulations!  Especially for 2.7.0.
