On a cursory look at ‘README’, x11-style sounds right to me.

Good catch!  LGTM.

So how did you settle on "0~%"?  :-)

OK.

Note that %GNU-BUILD-SYSTEM-MODULES is the set of modules *imported* in
the build environment (inputs of the derivation), not the set of modules
visible in the build script.  See ‘%default-modules’
vs. ‘%gnu-build-system-modules’ in (guix build-system gnu) for the
difference.

So it should rather be:

  #:modules ((srfi srfi-26)
             (guix build utils)
             (guix build gnu-build-system))

In practice it probably won’t make any difference.

Otherwise LGTM.

Thanks!
