Guix is a GNU/Linux distribution, designed for building packages.
The task here is to distribute Info manuals in a few
platform-independent non-source forms, perhaps Info and HTML. Perhaps
PDF files too. That is so much simpler than what Guix has to do that
using Guix for this would be a quick and dirty hack.
The task here can be done with something much simpler, and if we
decide to do it, writing a clean solution won't take very long.
And it will be simpler to understand than Guix.
