Well, in guile you get goops which is pretty much a clone of clos, call/cc is being phased out in guile since delimited continuations are the new black, unwind-protect is not enough in a language where you have first class continuations so the complexity of dynimic-wind is needed. For your escape continuation needs you can implement unwind-protect and very easily abstract away the parts of dynamic-wind you don't need.

The only thing missing is really the condition system, but that could be bolted on (that is the correct term) using continuations (preferably delimited). There is even a suggestion for r7rs-large to include them. I hope it gets voted in.
