useful on x86_64-linux to support i686 binaries: there we need the
NVIDIA OpenGL libraries, but not the kernel module or the
nvidia-settings program (which just cause a lot of unnecessary and
large dependencies).

I had to add the newer PHP because current PHP 5.2.11 doesn't read SOAP
from https urls. Debian's PHP does work - I couldn't find their fix

The Linux 2.6.34 kernel delivers (from [1])
- many open-source GPU driver updates,
- GPU switching support,
- the LogFS file-system,
- faster KVM networking support,
- Btrfs file-system updates,
- the VMware memory ballooning driver,
- and many other changes.
A more exhaustive list of the Linux 2.6.34 kernel changes from
architectures to network drivers is listed on the Wiki at

I reached a point where it works. Patches welcome - even without asking.
I should add a way to regenerate src.nix automatically too, but the information on what
to dowload is only inside their download script generated after configure.
There are more things that can be added: kde4 support, gstreamer, ...
I did not check that all the buildInputs are needed - most come from the old openoffice expression.

time and space on the new (non-ATerm) Nix expression evaluator. It
turns out that release.nix relied rather heavily on maximal laziness
for efficiency: every job calls `allPackages { inherit system; }'
for each platform. This causes the dependencies of the job to be
reevaluated for every job/platform combination. This is very slow
and (because the evaluator doesn't have a garbage collector yet)
eventually causes the evaluator to run out of memory and be killed.
As a workaround, I've replaced the calls to `allPackages' with a
quasi-memoised `pkgsFor' function. It "caches" the result by going
through a variable such as `pkgs_x86_64_linux', which is evaluated
only once. Evaluation now only takes 4.4s and 545 MiB on my
machine.
A cleaner solution may be to move the `system' argument outwards so
that entire set of jobs is called only once for each value of
`system'.
