Hi Guix,

the latest version of r-knitr makes a runtime check to see whether
"pandoc-citeproc" is on the PATH when building vignettes with the Rmarkdown
engine.  As we currently don't offer a package providing "pandoc-citeproc" I
decided to package it.

I decided not to add "ghc-pandoc-citeproc" to the "r-rmarkdown" package's
inputs, because "r-rmarkdown" can be used without it for the most part
(whereas "ghc-pandoc" must always be available).

Also note that the versions of the packages I added are not the latest
versions.  That's for practical reasons as the latest versions would require
wide-ranging updates to many packages in haskell.scm.  I'm working on updates
to all Haskell packages, too, but they are not ready yet and I think this
should not delay the addition of these packages.
