Guix doesn't provide the scintilla library. I tried to package it, but
failed. I can send my latest attempt, if you want to give it a spin.

Meanwhile, I added this as a TODO in the package definition.

OK.

I don't know. I changed the description, and added more inputs to build
documentation.

Here is the updated patch. Let me know if you want the scintilla draft.

WDYT?
