Thanks for the hint, it works like a charm!

    (add-after 'unpack 'fix-build-env
           (lambda* (#:key inputs #:allow-other-keys)
             (let* ((cmake-rules (assoc-ref inputs "cmake-rules")))
               (copy-file cmake-rules "fortune-mod/cmake/Shlomif_Common.cmake")
               (chdir "fortune-mod"))))

One nit: I want to install the file without specifying its destination
name (re-use the source name).
~install-file~ can do that but here ~cmake-rules~ contains the checksum
prefix.

I remember seeing a procedure to trim the checksum prefix from file
names somewhere...

More generally: is there an API reference or is it just the source code?
Development documentation seems a bit scarce...
