Hi,

Thanks for the patch :) I've made some comments below.

I'm guessing there are no tests to run, but a comment saying that would
be good.

I think it would be better to put something like:

  (string-append "CC=" ,(cc-for-target))

As I believe that helps when compiling for other architectures. I copied
that from the f3 package if you want an example in context.

Is there some way of making this more descriptive, like saying it's a
command line client?

I'd probably change the start of this to "The gmni package includes:",
as that repeats the synopsis less.

Would you be able to send an updated patch?

Thanks,
