Hi,

Thanks for the patches!  Just a couple quick comments:

I can't find a rule for this per se, but it's convention that package
names to be lowercase (and for the variable name to match).

Since this isn't a tagged version, this should follow the 'git-version'
pattern (search for usages of 'git-version' for examples).

Check phases should respect #:tests?, like so:

  (lambda* (#:key tests? #:allow-other-keys)
    (when tests?
      [...]))

Also, it doesn't hurt, but phases no longer have to end in #t. :)

Does this script actually use coreutils?  On the other hand, it looks
like it does use gawk and sed.

This is a bit nit-picky since it's just a dependency, but descriptions
should use full sentences, and be a bit more descriptive than this (see
"Synopses and Descriptions" in the Guix manual).

This is actually dual-licensed with expat, so:

  (license (list license:expat license:asl2.0))

Could you please send an updated patch?
