Some of these should be longDescriptions, but most others just
shouldn't contain newlines. E.g. write
description = "Bla";
and not
description = ''
Bla
'';
This pollutes "nix-env -qa --description" output.

that applications that link against it don't need to have its
dependencies (like libXext) in *their* RUNPATHs.
* glxinfo: don't add /var/run/opengl-driver/lib to the RUNPATH.
Instead LD_LIBRARY_PATH should be set to
/var/run/opengl-driver/lib at runtime. This is much more pure, and
it obviates the need for patchelfing all OpenGL applications.
(TODO: remove patchelf hacks for other OpenGL programs as well.)

modules) together in an attribute set returned by the function
"kernelPackagesFor" that takes a kernel as argument. For instance,
kernelPackages_2_6_23 is the result of calling this function with
kernel_2_6_23.
This is necessary in NixOS to make it easier to override the kernel:
it's not enough to just specify a different kernel (via the
boot.kernel option), but you also need matching nvidiaDriver, aufs,
iwlwifi, etc. Having a single attribute set that contains all
kernel-related packages makes this much easier.
* The kernel now has a passthru attribute "features" that allows NixOS
expressions to test whether a kernel has certain features. For
instance, the externel "iwlwifi" kernel module package should only
be built on kernels < 2.6.24, as kernels >= 2.6.24 have iwlwifi
support integrated. So the NixOS expressions can do the test
"kernel.features ? iwlwifi" to see if the iwlwifi package should be
built.
Kernel patches can declare additional features. E.g., the fbsplash
patch adds a "fbSplash" feature.
