+;; A VNC server is, in fact, an X server so it seems like a good idea
+;; to build on the work already done for xorg-server package.  This is
+;; not entirely compatible with the recommendation in BUILDING.txt
+;; where the client is built first, then the source code of the X
+;; server is copied into a subdir of the build directory, patched with
+;; VNC additions and then build and installed as Xvnc.  The procedure
+;; was turned around, where TigerVNC code is downloaded and built
+;; inside the Guix X server build dir. Also, the VNC patching process
+;; for the X server is automated in a straightforward manner.
