I got the following error, which I couldn’t reproduce
(bf4211523baf8ab1c853aac48ef0324f8f704510).  Is there a need to worry?

Perhaps ‘substring’ instead of ‘string-copy’ (does pretty much the same
thing, but the meaning is clearer IMO.)

(lambda _ ...) is enough (where ‘_’ is a convention to suggest that we
don’t care about the arguments.)

Do they cause problem with one of the patch-everything passes?

Other than that, it looks good to me.

Thanks for this brave endeavor!

Can't you use #:configure-flags here ? Btw, I think you should include 
more details about the errors created by WebRTC, so

Perhaps by adding -licu to the relevant cmake-generated Makefile, after
the ‘configure’ phase?  (Easier said than done.)

There’s this snippet:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
doCompileSchemas = ''   
  for pkg in "${gsettings_desktop_schemas}" "${gtk3}"; do   
cp -s $pkg/share/glib-2.0/schemas/*.gschema.xml $out/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
  done  
  ${glib}/bin/glib-compile-schemas $out/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ 
''; 
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

that gets inserted in the post-install phase of Evince and similar
programs.

In addition, Evince & co. have their $XDG_DATA_DIRS that refers to those
schemas:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
 wrapProgram "$out/bin/evince" \
 
   --prefix XDG_DATA_DIRS : "${shared_mime_info}/share:$out/share"  
 
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

In effect, it makes sure that all the standard schemas are available
along with each application that needs it.

No idea how to do this with the cmake build system...

Could you elaborate on what is happening there? It looks rather mysterious
