Done.  I found that original sources are MIT licensed and changes
released under `the Guile license"

Oops...ah yes, the 17-rc has preparations for the Hurd.  I added a
notice that this is taken from GNU C lib and re-licensed; same for
argz-extract.c.

There's a LICENSE and COPYING file in that directory.  These were taken
verbatim from TinyCC -- I only removed the 46_grep.c that was clearly
non-free.

Ah, I overlooked that.  I've added two READMEs; images are either
created by me, generated or taken from GuixSD.

Changes are up on

    the wip-gnu branch at: http://gitlab.com/janneke/mes
    a preliminary tarball: http://lilypond.org/janneke/mes-0.17-rc2.tar.gz

Greetings,
