It would be better to add the package to the existing gnunet.scm (which also
makes it easier to test, as there is no need to register a new file in
gnu-system.am).
Is a separate package needed, or could the existing recipe be extended to
also build the gtk+ binaries? If there is no separate source, I think this
would be the preferred approach.

This is how I work; in this way, you can provide a patch that applies
directly on top of master.
