Formatting looks good.  I’m just reporting a few minor issues below.

Could you send an updated patch in the format produced by ‘git

Shouldn’t it be
https://sites.google.com/a/bostic.com/keithbostic/files/... ?  (This is
the URL given on the home page.)

Just:

  `(#:out-of-source? #t)

This is actually bsd-4 (see its ‘LICENSE’ file: it has the four clauses,
as shown at <http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:BSD_4Clause>.)

Please add a sentence or two at the beginning of the file saying what it
does and why.  (You can remove the comment above ‘search-patch’ in
nvi.scm.)

Thanks!
