The problem is that --gui-exe can't handle DLLs, and the "sgl"
collection uses them.

In 299.X, our main approach has been to avoid writing C-based
extensions that generate DLLs, and instead use the Scheme-based FII. In
particular, "sgl" in 299.X doesn't have any DLLs, so --gui-exe can work
with GL programs.

The longer-term solution is probably to replace --gui-exe with
--gui-installer, but that's not yet done.
