Half-baked, but good enough to scratch my itch. Maybe it will be of use
for somebody else.

Thanks Wiktor, I did have a look at this, but I think it would be useful
if someone more familiar with texlive stuff in Guix had a look as well.

Given this is some kind of combination of bits, some of which may
already be in Guix, I'm a bit hesitant about whether it's a good fit as
is.

Apparently some (or all?) of the packages mentioned in the description
are unavailable in Guix, and I wonder if they’re in TeX Live.

So I went ahead and applied it.  We can always remove it later if/when
the individual packages are added.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
