Importing all of ELPA?

Importing all of ELPA?

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi!

The NixOS release notes at
<http://nixos.org/releases/nixos/16.03-small/nixos-16.03.488.ecf6ca4/manual/release-notes.html>
mention that all the ELPA and MELPA packages are now available, which
suggests that a fully automated translation works OK (although metadata
is largely incomplete at
<https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/editors/emacs-modes/elpa-generated.nix>.)

Hence the random thought of the day: Should we try a mass import?

Maybe we should change ‘guix import REPO’ to import all of REPO, where
applicable?

If it's doable, let's do it.

First we take elpa, then we take...? ;-)
