Subject: llhttp package in guix contains generated sources

Hi all,

Our llhttp package contains generated sources.  Running:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ls $(guix build llhttp --source)/src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

shows the existence of a llhttp.c file, which is a generated file.

To the best of my understanding, few in the wider community
generates these files from the (JavaScript) sources.

We currently end up doing this in the (hidden) llhttp-bootstrap package,
which uses the last version of Node.js that could be built without
depending on llhttp to build llhttp (which is then used as an input for
building more recent versions of Node.js).

Kind regards,
Jelle
