What I'd do is make each of those into a distinct package or even
better — obtain the remote files by creating and then ungexp'ing an
(origin) object for each of them.

To clarify what I mean, let's look at how the `gnome-recipes` packaging
resolves the problem of pulling multiple sources for the build[1].

After so much work on Quatro you're probably already such a guile guru
that no further explanation is needed here :)

Great! Good luck again :)
