[PATCH WIP 0/2] Add ppsspp |

Hello, Guix
I've been wanting to play some old PSP games, so I tried packaging
ppsspp. The build works for me so far, but it's not very clean -- I'd
especially appreciate it if someone could help me remove all those
gratuitous sources from ext.
The package description mentions spirv-cross, which I still have in my
local checkout after applying an early version of 40495. That patch
has been lying around since early April and is IIUC not applied since
it was bundled together with taisei, whose description raised some
debate about formalities. If needed, I can split that patch and resend
it, but credit should still go to Vitaliy.
Regards, Leo

Oh ok. I didn't get it was compiled in-place.

Fair enough.

I know. And this is what reminded about taisei.

Well, I still think dropping the note is appropriate, but I won't fight
over it. Let me know if you find something that suits you better.
I applied your patches. I tweaked comments. In particular comments
starting with two semicolons are full sentences and are supposed to
start with a capital and end with a full stop.
Thank you!
