Thanks for this, but did you post it to guix-devel for review?
It would be good to do so in the future.

Please see below for comments.

The quote (") on the line above should be aligned with the quote on the
line above it.

Also, instead of hard coding "1.1" in the URI, please use
'version-major+minor' instead.  You'll find many examples of it in
gnu/packages/*.scm

The alignment of the lines above is very confusing, to say the least.

Anyway, it would be better to simply remove the 'configure' phase and
instead add this:

  #:make-flags (list (string-append "PREFIX=" %output))

Please align the open quotes.

     Thanks,
