Subject: [bug#39146] [PATCH v4] gnu: icecat: Remove about:buildconfig store references.

From: Jakub Kądziołka <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2020 23:03:07 +0100

* gnu/packages/gnuzilla.scm (icecat)[arguments]:
  New ‘neutralise-store-references’ phase.

Co-authored-by: Tobias Geerinckx-Rice <[email-masked]>
---
Changes from the previous version:
- use regexp-quote around %store-directory, since today's IRC discussion
  has made me aware that this exists as a built-in
- reflow some lines
