For MinGW, I think it=E2=80=99d be more convenient to just create a standal=
one
tarball like we do for the Guix binary tarball installation (does Docker
now run on Windows anyway?).

The =E2=80=98guix pack=E2=80=99 command I have in mind would generalize wha=
t =E2=80=9Cmake
guix-binary.x86_64-linux.tar.xz=E2=80=9D does.

Ludo=E2=80=99.
