It is a bit strange that we should depend on bsdtar and bsdcpio... Well,
probably it is the library libarchive. The dependency comes in through
cmake (and is actually not detected by "guix refresh -l libarchive").

In linuxfromscratch, libarchive is only mentioned as "recommended" to build
cmake:
   http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/cmake.html
So maybe we could take it out from the cmake inputs?

Or maybe we should build libarchive with the configure flags
  --disable-bsdtar --disable-bsdcpio
(and then the tests would not be run...); after all, we have gnu tar and
gnu cpio.

What do you think?

Andreas
