Hi,

The system list should not be hardcoded (there’s already such a list in
(guix packages)).

Currently the error one gets is:

  $ guix environment -s does-not-exist --ad-hoc coreutils 
  guix environment: error: could not find bootstrap binary 'tar' for system 'does-not-exist'

I suppose that’s what you intended to improve, right?
