So far my understanding has been that, in Guix, we don't want to create
Guix-specific distributions of upstream code. SMHasher is the canonical
source for Murmur, but SMHasher doesn't seem suitable for building a
library that other applications can use, right?
Do any other distros have a package for Murmur or SMHasher that we can
use as an example?
Does anyone else have any thoughts about this?
