Support external packages outside the package-user-dir #45

Thank you for a great package.

I'm planing to create ELPA archive from my GUIX configuration, so I hack a little bit to help this package can work well with external packages.

So I'd like to create PR from my workaround, I'm not sure this code will work on almost cases (I did not test BSD example yet).

Emacs packages from GUIX for example
autoloads.el will be generated by emacs, so should ignore
dolist in package-user-dir is not enough packages from final-pkg-list
Because guix created directory path is not matching with name-version, so we have to create tmp-dir to rename a directory name

Feel free to comment/improve to help it better. Regards!

Thanks.

I did some minor change based on your code. Please test my latest code at your computer.

Thanks for your improvement. After testing, I see an annoy bug not should appear. Removing old name: Permission denied Because files from GUIX packages has mode (d)r-xr-xr-x, and 'copy-directory keep mode from input.

I think we can ignore error instead of finding a way to resolve. Because we need by pass to generate archive-contents file

(ignore-errors
  (delete-directory tmp-dir t)))
