This is to make it more consistent with the naming of the package file and also
consistent with the build, as we're not using the Google branded version.
In addition the derivation attribute set now has a packageName value which can
be used to easily switch the binary names and paths, just in case we want to
switch to using "chrome" (or something entirely different) again.
This only gets chromium to build so far, installation is missing by upstream, so
we need to manually copy the corresponding files. And I guess with nix, we also
need to patch a few paths on installation.
Another issue is that at the moment, a lot of dependencies are used from the
source tree, rather than from the system.
Also, it would be nice to build using LLVM, as it really speeds up compilation a
*LOT* and also has the side effect of resulting in smaller binaries.
Working unit tests would be nice, too. Unfortunately they're quite heavyweight
and take hours to run, so I guess "someday" would be the most appropriate time
to integrate.
Further todo's:
- Allow to disable GConf, GIO and CUPS.
- Option to disable the sandbox (for whatever reason the user might have).
- Integrate gold binutils.
- Pulseaudio support.
- Clearly separate Linux specific stuff.
(less sigill, less sigbus). Related to bad handling of FPU instructions.
I apply them only to linux 3.4, although I think they can apply to many older kernels too.

It's unclear what adding these dependencies accomplishes. If you find that a
feature you need doesn't work anymore, please feel free to re-enable the
appropriate dependencies.

"ant-<JDK name>".
* Remove openjdkDarwin/ecjDarwin/antDarwin attributes. Instead
the openjdk attribute refers to the Darwin package on Darwin.

Offering the names of those packages in "nix-env -qa *" is pointless
because it's impossible to install any of those packages by name. Only
packages from emacs23Packages can be installed by name.
