Looks good, but this is probably for core-updates, since it will entail
recompiling at least 1/3 of our packages (as estimated by 'guix refresh
-l'), and possibly much more since gtk+ depends on libxml2 and is an
implicit input to packages using the glib-or-gtk-build-system, and 'guix
refresh -l' isn't aware of those dependencies.

Is it important that this update happen before the next core-updates
cycle?  If so, perhaps we could build it in another branch.

What do you think?
