WTF is that the Perl module installation path suddenly has changed
from $out/lib/site_perl to $out/lib/perl5/site_perl. Investigating...

overriden at runtime (not enabled yet, but it works). This will
allow us to build Glibc with no or a minimal set of locales (which
cuts 70 MB from the installed size of Glibc). The locales that the
user actually needs can then be built separately and enabled by
setting the environment variable LOCALE_ARCHIVE. For instance, on
NixOS, we could set it to something like
/var/run/current-system/locale-archive. For setuid applications,
the variable is ignored.
This is especially useful on 64-bit systems, because there we tend
to have *two* copies of locale-archive (namely in the 32-bit and
64-bit builds of Glibc). Having only one copy allows at least 70 MB
to be cut from the NixOS installation CD.

* setup.sh: removed some obsolete features, specifically some that
were only used by the old build farm.
* addToSearchPath: removed some parameters that weren't used
anywhere.

* Let Cabal generate a package configuration file

into haskell-packages.nix, which depends on an instance of GHC.
This allows a consistent set of packages to be built with the same
GHC. For instance,
$ nix-build -A haskellPackages_ghc683.xmonad
builds xmonad and all its dependencies with GHC 6.8.3, while
$ nix-build -A haskellPackages_ghc6102.xmonad
does the same with GHC 6.10.2. This is the same technique used with
kernelPackages. It also means that we don't need things like
"cabal682" and "cabal683" anymore.
* The setup hook is now in a separate wrapper package so that we don't
have to recompile all of GHC every time we want to make a small
change.
* cinelerra: this package appears to have an accidental dependency on
the "X11" Haskell package.

old versions can build newer versions but not vice versa.

* Removed the old ghc-wrapper, which hasn't been used for a long time.
* Renamed the "boot" GHC to "binary", which is more descriptive.

source build.)
* Updated the GHC 6.10.1 binary to 6.10.2.

rebuild all of GHC every time the setup hook changes. Thus its
better to factor it out. (After all, the setup hook doesn't have to
be provided by the GHC package proper; it can also be provided by
some helper package.)
