In my haste I realize that I've forgotten the appropriate copyright
header comment in kodi.scm.  I have fixed it locally.

Wow, quite an achievement!

Maybe just say why this is needed.

It’s OK to do that, but only if there are users that expect it (usually
because a major distro has been doing it for some time.)  Maybe just add
a something like “because Kodi expects it”, or “similar to what Debian
does”.

Otherwise LGTM.

Would it be possible to delete the bundled ffmpeg in a snippet?

Use ‘with-directory-excursion’ instead.

We could remove autoconf/automake/libtool/gettext if they used ‘make
dist’, but I guess they don’t.  Bah.

We should start a “make dist” campaign; makedist.org appears to be
available…  ;-)

> +       ("icedtea7" ,icedtea7)

Is it a build-only dependency (it’s in ‘native-inputs’)?  Can it be
avoided?

Otherwise LGTM.

Thank you!

Sure.  I added an explanation.  Kodi, and presumably others, assume
that TinyXML was built with STL support on.

Added a note along those lines.

Sure, I removed it.  I also added a TODO to delete more bundled things
that are safe to delete in the future.

I should have known that this was already implemented.  :)

I'm on board.  I spent 99% of packaging time trying to get the
bootstrapping process to work.  I don't think any of the devs realize
that they conflate bootstrapping with configuration, or maybe they
know and don't see a problem.

Yes, it is a build-only dependency.  Unfortunately, it is mandatory to
build some part of the application.  I added a comment for clarity.

Pushed with the suggested changes.  Thanks!
