This sounds like a good idea in general. A quick `guix refresh -l cmake'
showed ~1100 packages, which would make this a good spot for the patch I
tossed into core-updates to also build the ccmake binary.
Currently I think most of us try to keep the number of rebuilds under
~150, so it might be nice to have some sort of guidelines in a separate
post (and in HACKING eventually) so that people don't miss it.
