Right...and I still forgot to add my new packages there...sigh.

I built them "by hand." Mes used to have a `make seed' target. I
dropped that.

Sure.

No, of course that's trivial. I just sent patches to do that. However,
building ascii seeds is not so trivial. You need either M2-Planet or
Mes to produce those. And then: ascii seeds is not what we want,
mescc-tools should be bootstrappable without any seeds, ascii or binary.
I don't see how to write a Guix packages to build mescc-tools without
any dependencies (apart from stage0 maybe). It seems we still need a
mescc-tools-seed package anyway, which doesn't help?
