Sorry, I always forget to 'Reply all'. I hope you don't mind if I take this 
back public.

Thanks, what do you do with the scm (Scheme) package definition file? Does it 
play a part in that? Do we place it in the current directory?

What if I used 'guix download', and the tarball is in /nix/store? Will it just 
work?

Wait, what is "pre-inst-env"? I'm a little lost. I'm just trying to contribute 
a package of my shell, so I can use it in Emacs.
