For v2 I removed unnecessary includes.  (Initially `maintenance.scm' was
a bit more interesting.)  Also mention using it implicitly in
Contributing.texi.

[snip .envrc exapmle that runs ./pre-inst-env]

...and while I'm here; I'm using this much simpler .envrc now:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
eval $(guix shell --search-paths)
if test -f doc/dir; then
   export INFOPATH="$PWD/doc${INFOPATH:+:}$INFOPATH"
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I found that it's better to simply use ./pre-inst-env in the M-x compile
command instead.

Greetings,
Janneke
