- gcc/ld-wrappers have been factored out into a separate
derivation. This allows a working gcc to be installed in the user
environment. (Previously the Nix gcc didn't work because it
needed a whole bunch of flags to point to glibc.)
- Better modularity: packages can specify hooks into the setup
scripts. For instance, setup no longer knows about the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable; pkgconfig can set it up instead.
- gcc not longer depends on binutils. This simplifies the bootstrap
process.

(stdenv) on Linux. The previous 1-stage bootstrap was insufficient,
because the tools in stdenv where built by native tools. For
instance, the Nix bash had a reference to /lib/libncurses. This
doesn't happen with a 2-stage bootstrap, since the bash built in
stage 2 will be built with the gcc built in stage 1, which doesn't
search in the "standard" locations.
Motto: "Disparaging the boot is a bootable offense."

stages of the bootstrap process (i.e., stdenvLinuxBoot).
* Add those packages to the distribution. We didn't do that before
because it would cause them to be built twice.

a big problem, so I decided to require to user to get the
file and put it in some location in the file system. wget
doesn't seem to accept the file scheme however, so I had to
move the copying into the builder itself. The builder checks
the md5 hash of the downloaded file. Maybe having a separate
'fetchfile' would be useful to make a file in the outside
world pure. I tried to add this to build-support, but this
obviously did not work. I still committed it. Just remove it
if you think that it sucks.

and automake. Copying the files in $libtool/share/aclocal to
$autoconf/share/aclocal does not work (and causes collisions when
installing the tools in the user environment). The solution seems to
be to install the three distributions in one single $out directory,
i.e., consider them as one package.

against the right dynamic libraries. set-env.sh add the right linker flags to the
NIX_LDFLAGS environment variable, which is passed by gcc-wrapper to the linker.
(In many cases these flags could just be passed through LDFLAGS to configure
scripts; however, in many other cases this doesn't work properly.)

* Disabled gtkspell support in pan since it (and it alone) has a conflict with the
system glibc.
* Use CPU detection in MPlayer so that it also works on systems with different CPUs
than the build system's.

* A solution to the library abstraction problem (i.e., if
package X needs library Y, and library Y needs library Z,
then we do not (generally) want to declare Z as a input to X
since that would break abstraction). This was not possible
under the old Nix.
