Could you move it to a ‘snippet’ in the ‘origin’ form?  (See the
‘squeak-vm’ package for an example.)

As Alex Griffin wrote, we should remove all of external/ in ‘snippet’
(see item #9 about “bundling” at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html>),
and instead add GSL, GLPK, FLAC, etc. as ‘inputs’ of the package.

Would you like to try it?

I think this is the only remaining blocker here.

Thank you for your work!
