We removed this in August due to concerns about its use of the
unsupported Qt 4:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-08/msg00414.html

But I guess it's okay to re-add it if there is a use case for it. Too
bad it still needs Qt 4.

If you have a use for it then go ahead. It was pulled back in August for
using qt-4 and not having any dependants.

Also, the package we removed described the license as lgpl2.1+. If we
are bringing this package back, please check which is correct.

lgpl2.1 (not +) is correct.

But actually I'm not likely to have a use for it myself.  I packaged it because I'm 
building another project which I thought was dependent upon it.  But it turned out
I was mistaken.   

I thought it couldn't do any harm to add it, in case it was useful for anyone else.
But I don't really care either way.
