Shea Levy 98860f429d Add the addPassthru library function
With multiple outputs, adding attributes to a derivation without
changing the {drv,out}Path is no longer as trivial as simply using the
`//' operator, as we usually want to add the attribute to _each_ output,
and even if we only care about one that one output can be reached via
multiple paths.

For stdenv.mkDerivation, we already had code in place to add passthru
and meta attributes to derivations. This commit simply factors part of
that code out into a lib function addPassthru, which takes a derivation
and an attribute set and appends the attribute set to each output of the
derivation.

Eelco Dolstra 5be0a9acd7 Rename hostDrv -> crossDrv, buildDrv -> nativeDrv
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).

Eelco Dolstra 1ac9dcd24d * Fix eval-release.nix by testing whether all attributes of a
derivation evaluate inside the tryEval.  This catches cases such as
  aufs2-util, which fails due to an assertion in its dependency aufs2.
* Explicitly blacklist "xbursttools" because it gives some
  evaluation error in cross-OpenSSL.  No idea why, probably due to
  some pass-through attribute.

Michael Raskin ccc497f80d Make WebKit use libsoup 2.31.2 via deepOverride. Edit a few packages that were overridable but did not allow extra arguments. Remove a catch with deepOverride that pkgs.lib had this attribute in a different sense.

Eelco Dolstra 7dffd96978 * Allow `overrideDerivation' to work on derivations to which
`makeOverridable' has been applied (!).  Ugly.

Eelco Dolstra f1713f192d * Fix the VM builds. They were broken because a `hostDrv' and
`buildDrv' attribute gets added to every derivation in
  `makeStdenvCross'.  So filter out those attributes.  But the real
  question is why makeStdenvCross is applied when I'm not doing a
  cross compilation.
