Re: [PATCH 2/3] gnu: Add ledger.

I don't know whether parallel builds should be enabled or disabled. My
initial thought was that it makes sense if it allows ledger to build on
more machines. On the other hand, the more general fix (one that will
also work on lots of other packages) is simply to allocate more swap on
those machines.

Since I wrote this package largely by copying other packages I found,
I'm curious how I would ever learn some of this stuff. How do I know
which variables are available in different parts of the package
definition, and similar details? I could probably just continue diving
deeper into the source, but since it's guile I suspect there's some way
to explore interactively. I'm just not sure how; my REPL fu is weak.
