Running ‘autoreconf’ & co. is necessary if and only if you’re building
from Git.

Unless you’re planning to hack on Guile-Reader itself, I’d recommend
fetching
<http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/guile-reader/guile-reader-0.6.1.tar.gz>.

This is surprising because Guile-Reader doesn’t use Gettext.  I don’t
seem to need it here:
