Thanks, it works! The changed library dependencies seem to be
working for me. Applied as 766a22fb4d1, preceded by a switch to https
URLs (I had to rebase your patch to adopt the changed home-page link
text).

I'm not sure what counts as "functional". For me, it shows the link
speed: 1000 Mbits. Should it dynamically show the bandwidth usage?

In any case, I tried making it a setuid binary, but that didn't seem to
create a change, and it's probably a bad idea anyways, since they only
ask for the cap_net_admin. Is i3status designed to be setuid?

I don't know how to set just this capability in Guix.

Advice appreciated!
