* Dropped "nolongdouble.patch". The patch no longer applies to Python 2.6, and
apparently isn't required anymore either.
* Added access to native Darwin arch utility. Python tries to run 'arch' in
the configure stage, but that binary reside in /usr/bin. To make it
available to the expression, the small wrapper darwinArchUtility is added as
a buildInput if appropriate.
* Don't pass --enable-shared. The build fails if we try to enable building of
shared libraries, apparently because some required libraries aren't linked,
i.e. the linker call isn't right.
TODO:
* Figure out how to enable shared linking.
* The resulting binary on Darwin seem to lack the binascii module.

The build succeeds on i686-linux. Other platforms look good, too,
because there were hardly any changes necessary to update the expression
from 2.5.

On MacOS X, we used to use the native perl interpreter from /usr/bin.
Unfortunately, that interpreter fails to build a number of packages
(Subversion, Git, etc. ...), because it assumes knowledge about the
underlying C compiler that is not valid for the compiler used by Nix.
For example, /usr/bin/perl assumes that the compiler can build binaries
for both the ppc and the x86 architecture. /usr/bin/gcc can do that, but
the gcc from Nix can't.
The solution is to compile Perl 5.10 in Nix so that the ./configure
phase can properly detect the system's capabilities. However, note that
the resulting binary is impure: it will find headers in /usr/include and
libraries in /usr/lib. In this respect, the Nix-compiled perl binary is
no different than the native one in /usr/bin -- it's just configured
more accurately.

wouldn't do. In this respect our Nix-compiled perl binary is not better than
the native one from /usr/bin -- it's just more accurately configured.

I thought I didn't change stdenv, but I did. This will go soon into the stdenv
branch then.
