There is a "guix import nix" command; I do not think it will go so far as
to also take care of patches, but it will create a template for a scheme
object from nixpkgs.
"git am" complained about whitespace issues with tabs, but I suppose these
are okay in make files :-)

I think all of these should be native-inputs; the first two are not referenced
in the result ("guix gc --references /gnu/store/..."), and ocaml is definitely
needed during compile time. I moved them and pushed the patch.
Thank you very much for your patience!
