No precompiled binaries AFAIK.

Should be possible to "port;" one of these days, I'll get around to
trying it, as it would improve my quality of life. The only _known_
problem with guile on Windows is that the source code file for let*
doesn't conform to Windows' file name restrictions (i.e., it contains
a '*'). I'm hoping very hard that that's the _only_ problem, so it
should just be a matter of changing that file name and catching all
references to it.
As far as GTK+ on windows, that's a third-party effort; the main GTK+
team isn't worrying about it. How many headaches will be generated by
the fact that it and guile/gtk are both under development, and whether
or not the version of GTK+ that guile/gtk uses is different from the
one that GTK+ for Windows uses... good questions, all of 'em.

No. The gimp uses a scheme-ish extension language, but it isn't guile.
