* Octave: remove dependencies that are only necessary when building

* Octave: don't have a dependency on gcc, since that will cause
*another* gcc to be build than the one in stdenv.

- disable tiger, strategoxt, they don't work and give errors
- ftp.nl.kernel.org seems to have some problems, replaced with ftp.de.kernel.org

- The package has a non-standard build interface;
fixed with hooks for genericBuild
- The graph library requires x11 and the configure
script looks in absolute directory paths to find
X11. Fixed by using patched configure script from
which the absolute paths have been removed. As
a consequence the graph library is not build until
we have X11 support in Nix.

* Remove precompiled headers, which are nice except that
A) they don't work; and
B) they make gcc take up 270% more disk space.

An interesting complication is that we have to change the ELF type
of the executable from `Linux' to `SVR4', otherwise the
`ld-linux.so.2' trick to override the glibc used doesn't work
(apparently `Linux' is not a recognised ELF type!).
UT doesn't work with software Mesa, so right now we impurily use
`/usr/lib/libGL.so'. I cannot really test whether it works with
hardware Mesa, since it barfs with an error about missing OpenGL
extensions. But that's probably because I'm testing this on an
iBook over an SSH connection to a Linux machine.

to deploy existing binary-only components.
We use the `ld-linux.so.2 PROGRAM' trick to force the use of our own
glibc, and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the required libraries
(X11, Mesa).
Since Mesa is software-only, Q3A is rather slow. I'll have to
figure out how to use the Mesa from XFree86 (X.Org), since it knows
how to use DRI (or at least speak the GLX protocol). Unfortunately
the xlibs people haven't modularised that part of XFree86 yet.
Also, the flag `+set s_initsound 0' has to be passed to Quake to
disable sound, otherwise it segfaults on startup. It doesn't do
this with the normal glibc, which is strange. Maybe it tries to
dynamically load some sound library or something.

* Zapping/VLC/MPlayer: use libXv.
* MPlayer: upgrade to 1.0pre4.
* Zapping: add libXext to the rpath. I don't understand why this is
necessary. Zapping doesn't itself link against libXext, though some
of its dependencies do. (Maybe this is due to `--export-dynamic'?)

the tree being fetched from a Subversion repository. The revision
number is now optional (and defaults to HEAD).
This makes `fetchsvn' more pure. First, a URL/revision tuple does
not uniquely identify a file resource, since the repository itself
might change. Second, `svn:external' attributes can cause arbitrary
resources to be exported.
A script `nix-prefetch-svn' has been provided to determine the hash
of a URL.

adds all directories specified in `ACLOCAL_PATH' to the `aclocal'
command line as `-I' flags. Also, it provides a setup hook that
adds the `.../share/aclocal' directory of every build input to
`ACLOCAL_PATH'.
* Upgraded Libtool.
* Graphviz requires the X Athena widgets, which in turn requires the X
miscellaneous utilities library; added those. However it doesn't
work yet since libXt is broken.

builders for typical Autoconf-style to be much shorten, e.g.,
. $stdenv/setup
genericBuild
The generic builder does lots of stuff automatically:
- Unpacks source archives specified by $src or $srcs (it knows about
gzip, bzip2, tar, zip, and unpacked source trees).
- Determines the source tree.
- Applies patches specified by $patches.
- Fixes libtool not to search for libraries in /lib etc.
- Runs `configure'.
- Runs `make'.
- Runs `make install'.
- Strips debug information from static libraries.
- Writes nested log information (in the format accepted by
`log2xml').
There are also lots of hooks and variables to customise the generic
builder. See `stdenv/generic/docs.txt'.
* Adapted the base packages (i.e., the ones used by stdenv) to use the
generic builder.
* We now use `curl' instead of `wget' to download files in `fetchurl'.
* Neither `curl' nor `wget' are part of stdenv. We shouldn't
encourage people to download stuff in builders (impure!).
* Updated some packages.
* `buildinputs' is now `buildInputs' (but the old name also works).
* `findInputs' in the setup script now prevents inputs from being
processed multiple times (which could happen, e.g., if an input was
a propagated input of several other inputs; this caused the size
variables like $PATH to blow up exponentially in the worst case).
* Patched GNU Make to write nested log information in the format
accepted by `log2xml'. Also, prior to writing the build command,
Make now writes a line `building X' to indicate what is being
built. This is unfortunately often obscured by the gigantic tool
invocations in many Makefiles. The actual build commands are marked
`unimportant' so that they don't clutter pages generated by
`log2html'.

- 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.
