The way forward would be to drop the file as guix/scripts/pipy.scm, and
then adjust it to follow the calling convention that =E2=80=98run-guix-comm=
and=E2=80=99
expects.  Similarly, it should use (guix build download).

Since it uses Guile-JSON, maybe ./configure would have to check for its
availability and disable compilation/installation when Guile-JSON is not
found (in a way similar to BUILD_DAEMON_OFFLOAD, in config-daemon.ac.)

Then a test file and an entry in the manual would be perfect.
