`selectVersion ./foo "bar"' instead of `import ./foo/bar.nix'.
* Replaced `with args' with formal function arguments in several
packages.
* Renamed several files to `default.nix'. As a general rule, version
numbers should only be included in the filename when there is a
reason to keep multiple versions of a package in Nixpkgs.
Otherwise, it just makes it harder to update the package.

needing to keep a new tree of expressions apart for the expressions to get
cross-compiled.
I changed the whole way of using cross compilation with nixpkgs, which before
was done through a simple adapter.
Now the adapter became complex, and I've tried to avoid the most obvious
recursivities. For example, the fetchurl expression should
never be cross-compiled, as the gmp, mpfr, and some others, like
some ncurses, perl, ... I made overrided copies of those necessary as
perlNoCross, ncursesNoCross, as stdenvNoCross, keeping in mind that
the stdenv (capable of cross compilation) is built upon stdenvNoCross using
an adapter.
So, to cross compile, instead of building using "nixpkgs/default.nix",
you should build with your
own "myarchiteture.nix", which should have contents like these, for example:
import /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/default.nix
{
crossSystem = {
config = "armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnueabi";
bigEndian = false;
arch = "arm";
float = "soft";
};
}

It still does not work, but I think I already get glibc cross compiled.
Next: gcc and g++, and set some setup script hooks on stdenvCross.
It took quite enough hours for this commit.

My idea is to provide special stdenv expressions that will contain in the path
additional cross compilers. As most expressions for programs accept a stdenv parameter,
we could substitute this parameter with the special stdenv, which will have a
generic builder that attempts the usual "--target=..." and can additionally
have an env variable like "cross" with the target architecture set.
So, finally we could have additional expressions like this:
bashRealArm = makeOverridable (import ../shells/bash) {
inherit fetchurl bison;
stdenv = stdenvCross "armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnueabi";
};
Meanwhile it does not work - I still cannot get the cross-gcc to build.
I think it does not fill the previous expressions with a lot of noise, so I
think it may be a good path to follow.
I only touched some files of the current stdenv: gcc-4.3, kernel headers
2.6.28, glibc 2.9, ...
I tried to use the gcc-cross-wrapper, that may be very outdated. Maybe I will
update it, or update the gcc-wrapper expression to make it fit the cross tools,
but meanwhile I even cannot build gcc, so I have not tested the wrapper.
This new idea on cross compiling is not similar to that of the
nixpkgs/branches/cross-compilation, which mostly added bare new expressions for
anything to be cross compiled, if I understood it correctly.
I cared not to break anything of the usual stdenv in all this work.

This comes from:
svn diff ^/nixpkgs/trunk/@18255 ^/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/ > diff
patch -p0 < diff
and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.
trunk@18255 comes from the last time I updated stdenv-updates from trunk.

Add expression for ssreflect, an extension to the Coq Proof Assistant.
Still has some clitches (see TODO in default.nix) but is usable anyway.

a symbol clash with glib 2.21. So we keep with glib 2.20.
I also changed the default wxGTK from 2.6 to 2.8, caring so no hash is changed due to
this change. Some packages using 2.6 may well build with 2.8, so we can try updating
them for another commit.

The new version requires Tcl at build time in order to construct sqlite3.h,
even when the --without-tcl option is passed to configure. That feels odd
because the sqlite web site does advertise "no dependencies", but then it's
probably not a big deal either. The build of the Tcl plugin for sqlite is still
disabled, so there is no run-time dependency.

I tried to keep the openssh hash not changing, unless the user sets hpn in getConfig
style. I think that does not look as good as a patch changing the hash, but it may
annoy less. Let me know if it is not ok.
I don't think hpn should be the default, because it may have some insecurity implications
I don't know of. But I used to enable it in all my machines, and I hope to do so unless
advised otherwise.

I tried their website renderer, but it did not work for me. It may be shut down,
because their last update is for 2006.
Next steps: put it into nixos, and build the renderer (java!).

there seems to be a much cleaner solution than deepOverride, namely
call all-packages.nix with an appropriate packageOverrides set.)
