(Flamesuit on.) Here goes.

I'm looking for a scheme implementation that has the
following features, or somebody that has actually 
managed to port an existing version (preferrably Elk, 
it seems) to NT using VC++ 4.0.

- Good garbage collector
- Multithreading (not necessary, but desirable)
- Run-time extensible w/library functions.
- Math library support (JACAL?)
- Runs on intel i486/Pentium/Pentium Pro under Win-NT

Status :
- I'm NOT an experienced VC++ 4.0 user.
- I'm fairly competent with gcc on Sun/UNIX platforms
- Programming languages are not a problem. (I know
  LISP and Scheme very well, and C++ fairly well.)
- I hate Make and it hates me.

Currently I'm trying to figure out both how VCPP4.0
works, and how one would best go about to port Elk
to NT.

Anybody tried it? Anybody got it to work? Anybody got
any other suggestions?

ANY hints would be greatly appreciated.
