After some discussion on #nixos, the consensus is that expressions should not
provide functionality that is not part of the package itself, i.e. pythonFull
ought to include only those extensions that are part of the python
distribution.

The latter package contains Tcl/Tk and whatnot else, so using that
expression as a built input was a bad idea. I'm sorry.
The dependency on talloc is gone, too. It wasn't used, apparently, but
it broke the build on Darwin because talloc doesn't compile there.

I have no idea whether that's going to work, and I can't test it for
lack of access to a MacOS X machine, but think chances are pretty good
that this is going to succeed.

Packages that need util-linux-ng as a build-time or run-time dependency
typically refer to the attribute 'utillinux', which is the expression with
the least possible set of features.
Users, however, who run "nix-env -i util-linux", don't want that version,
because it lacks support for perl and curses. In other words, users want
utillinuxngCurses by default, which is what this change accomplishes.

Packages that need git as build-time or run-time dependency typically refer to
the attribute 'git', which is the expression with the least possible set of
features.
Users, however, who run "nix-env -i git", don't want that version, because it
lacks support for SVN, for sending e-mail, and it doesn't include the GUI. In
other words, users want gitFull by default, which is what this change
accomplishes.

Both build inputs 'monotone' and 'git' are non-null in nixpkgs, so their
respective store paths were always included in the generated wrapper
script -- even if 'monotoneSupport' and 'gitSupport' were false.

* Build maxima with sbcl for better performance.
* Enable the regression test suite.
* Configure $PATH at start-up so that maxima knows how to find sbcl,
wish, rlwrap, and gnuplot.
* Move installed documentation and Emacs lisp modules into standard
locations.
* Enable parallel building.

The expression can't build on Cygwin because it wants to know the version of
Perl that is being used. On Cygwin, however, we don't know that because we're
using sysPerl.

Current versions of gconftool-2 don't support the --config-source option
anymore -- that path must be passed in $GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE instead.

This renaming prepares the landing of several versions of udev which are
required to boot old Linux versions.
The udev expression is mapped to udev166.

Linux-2.6.{25,27,28} are now compiled with the CIFS timeout patch,
allowing them to be used with "VM Testing".
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=27714
CIFS timeout patch is now activated for a wider range of Linux kernels :
from 2.6.29 to 2.6.38.
These kernels now can be used to perform "VM Testing".
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=27712
Renamed cifs-timeout-2.6.32 patch to cifs-timeout-2.6.29 as this is the
older kernel version this patch applies to.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=27711
Currently suffixed with 2.6.32.
This pre-patch prepares the landing of several versions of this patch to
support other Linux kernel versions.

Moved the hardcoded postBuild hook from the builder to generic.nix:
Some old kernel (such as 2.6.15) did not yet support the unifdef target.
As a result, compiling them with the current Linux builder leads to a
failure.
Fixed by moving this hook as argument of the top-level function of
generic.nix. This allows some kernel nix codes to overrides its default
value.

The build doesn't work with the latest version 5.1.x. Upstream is going
to release an update to fix this soon.

GnuCash attempt to call gconf binaries to register its schemas in the
system-wide database. That still doesn't work, of course, because gconf
can't update its store path. TODO. :-(

The test suite is currently disabled. There is an issue with GUILE_LOAD_PATH
that needs to be addressed before we can re-enable those tests. See comments in
the expression for further details.

The chkdupexe utility requires perl. We cannot change the expression, though,
without triggering a re-build of almost all of stdenv, so for the time being
I'm making Perl an optional build input that is disabled by default.

- Generate a forwarder scripts only for executable files. This change
removes the broken 'man' script, for example.
- Run the real binaries with 'exec'.
- Use $SHELL to interpret the forwarder scripts rather than /bin/sh.
- Indent consistently with blanks.
- Removed some debug output from the build expression.

* Patchelf doesn't work for this program. Fortunately, we don't need patchelf,
because libtool takes care of hard-coding the proper rpaths.
* Updated home page address.
* Build with more aggressive optimization flags.
* Drop the obsolete const-fix patch.
