Oops...I tried to reference the mingw lilypond prototype but the URL
I sent pointed to this post
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-03/msg01116.html
which showed
$ ./pre-inst-env guix environment --ad-hoc wine -- wine
/gnu/store/2j8qaqbc9q1w3z6k054nmp7j432yxfq7-hello-2.10/bin/hello.exe
