I've thought about it some more.  I'd add 'iso9660-disk-image in a whole bunch 
of places only to remove it again.  Therefore, I left out the 
guix/scripts/system.scm part entirely for now and committed the rest to master 
(the Hydra image will still build).

Anyone: Feel free to move them - although I'm not sure how 
build-aux/hydra/gnu-system.scm finds its modules.  Probably would have to be 
amended somehow, too.
