This is for consistency with terminology in stdenv (and the terms
"hostDrv" and "buildDrv" are not very intuitive, even if they're
consistent with GNU terminology).
plowshare now comes in two flavours, plowshare4 and plowshare3.
plowshare4 is recommonded if one can afford its larger (bash >= 4.1)
dependencies which we can. plowshare3 (bash >= 3, busybox) is aimed at
embedded devices.
I hope noone is unhappy with enabling PAM bu default. Whover doesn't want PAM to
take care of authentication can still use the "password" configuration
directive.

I plan to later use uscan for simplifying package updates in some
NixPkgs packages. I have no code for that now.
I added Perl packages File::DesktopEntry and File::BaseDir in a slightly
hascky way because one part of the installation system replaced PREFIX=
with --prefix= and the other complained that it doesn't know what to do
with --prefix=. I checked that a script using File::DesktopEntry works,
and I don't know enough Perl to rewrite buildPerlPackage and hope that
my change is an improvement.
I removed trnaslated manpages because it uses po4a which has some more
Debian-specific dependencies of its own.
As the current version doesn't work anymore and there has been a lot of progress
since February, I think it's time to switch over to the new versen.

In addition, we're now switching to using refs/tags from git rather than commit
refs directly, which has the advantage, that we don't have to do bookkeeping
twice, where people forget to increment the version in nixpkgs.
This happened for the previous version, where `pkgver` had the value
"2011.12.08", but in rg3/youtube-dl@661a807c65 the
version actually is "2012.01.08b".

This package as well as the patches are used from Debian, as the upstream
version is no longer maintained, plus other distributions seem to use the Debian
patched version aswell. And by looking at the patch from Debian, it seems
reasonable, because it contains a _lot_ of fixes that accrued over time.
