I think /usr/bin/env is probably going to be insufficient -- lazy people
like me are always going to be asking for more things :)  If we can
manage to expose a profile at /usr, that would be better, I think.

In general, I think we can have the Hurd inform but not gate Guix
features.

In this case, exposing a custom view of the file system to a sub-process
is something that the Hurd should be able to do anyway :)
