It works for me on GuixSD OOTB.

The docs point to "http://www.praat.org";, so I think we should include
the www.

I know it's Praat's tagline, but the synopsis doesn't match the rest of
our packages. Something like "Phonetic analysis program" would be
better. The description could probably be a bit more fleshed out too,
but I think it's also fine if you don't want to bother.

This should be gpl2+. It looks like praat bundles some third-party
libraries under external/ with various licenses. These should be
unbundled if possible, or else their licenses should be added to praat's
license field.

Thanks for contributing, hope it's not too much trouble cleaning up
these last few details!
