Yes, those alternative implementations seem to be just what you need.

Threads shouldn't be required.

The UFFI homepage doesn't mention SBCL/Win32 as a working platform.
Not sure if that really means anything, though.

I'm not doing any development on win32 if I can avoid it.

I'd be willing to support your efforts to the best I can, though,
even if it means setting up SBCL under win32.

  Happy hacking,
