Hi Ludo,

> The major difference is that instead of just building a bunch of modules

This sounds like a very nice improvement, thanks!

Just wondering: does this mean that I could substitute Guix from my local
source tree simply by doing

   ./pre-inst-env guix package -p ~/.config/guix/current -i guix

Or, in fact, not use ~/.config/guix/current at all and just install
"guix" into my main profile?

Konrad.
