bug#50428: [PATCH] gnu: Add cryfs

Hi,

Overall LGTM modulo the minor issues below:

> +     '(#:configure-flags

> +         "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release" ;; Build man pages.

Normally this is set by #:build-type.  It defaults to “RelWithDebInfo”,
which is nice because then you get debugging symbols if you pass
‘--with-debug-info=cryfs’.  So I’d suggest removing this second flag.

Please use #:modules ((srfi srfi-1) …) instead of this non-top-level
‘use-modules’ form.

Installing tests is unusual.  Do you really think it’s going to be
useful?

Typo.

Extra space.  :-)

Could you send an updated patch?

Thanks!
