OK, upstream will be removing net-http in favor of libcurl and remove the goosh
dependency (instead using the guile os process). guile-gui is still maintained,
so I'll package that independently and pull it in as a requirement.  I'll work
on that today/tomorrow, and update this bugreport once upstream removes the
net-http/goosh dependencies.
