  Hint: since you are on this commit, you may check the new "M-x guix" -
  you will be the first person who will try it (maybe you will like it

"M-x guix-set-emacs-environment" sets environment variables for Emacs
itself!  For example, you may check "M-x getenv PATH" or other
variables.  They should be augmented for the profile you selected.
