This is an attempt at getting the sendmail package working. Currently
installing the package does not make the `sendmail` executable appear in
`$PATH`:
Toggle quote (4 lines)
> ?$ guix environment --ad-hoc sendmail
> ?$ sendmail
> bash: sendmail: command not found
This patch fixes that.
Though there are questions that still need to be resolved. While this patch
does fix what it sets out to fix, the solutions aren't neccicerily correct.
It configures a "helpfile" to be put in "$out/usr/share" and the same goes
for its "statistics" file. I have no idea what these does and where they
should go in reality. If someone happens to know, please do tell.

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: mail: Make the sendmail package actually output its
binary
The binary sendmail was not installed when sendmail was installed. This patch fixes this.
