It can be done... since guile-for-guile-emacs doesn't make sense without
guile-emacs (probably), I thought maybe bundling them together makes
sense...

So, could someone describe the difference between inputs and
native-inputs?  The manual provides no clarity!  I never know where it
goes and why... I just mime what other packages are doing.

Yes, but this time especially!  I think it'll be a good sign for
guile-emacs when we can tear off the test disabling... :)
