    guix: node-build-system: Add 'delete-dependencies' helper function.
    
    Many node packages currently skip the configure phase, because they lack
    both dependencies and a convenient way to build without all of them, e.g.
    for the purposes of bootstrapping.  This patch adds a big hammer to flatten
    these nails.
    
    * guix/build/node-build-system.scm (delete-dependencies): New variable.
