Eelco Dolstra f719b5268e * qemu-kvm: honour $TMPDIR for the qemu-smb temporary directory. This
ensures that Nix cleans up the qemu-smb directory after a VM test
  run (which prevents failures like this one:
  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/275355/nixlog/31/raw).

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 9ef11e4c4d Made the linux kernel expressions support 'platform' again (thinking on reusing
most of the kernel expressions for the sheevaplug).
I still have not added anything in the kernels about cross compilation.
I moved the platform definitions out of all-packages.
I have not written good platform definitions for the sheevaplug - only for the
PC.
Only the linux-2.6.32 expression uses the platforms kernelConfig.
The linux-2.6.31 was broken, and I left it broken.

Eelco Dolstra 03e45e0cb4 * Added a script to generate the kernel configuration.
`generate-config.pl' runs `make config' to generate a Linux kernel
  configuration file.  For each question (i.e. kernel configuration
  option), unless an override is provided, it answers "m" if possible,
  and otherwise uses the default answer (as determined by the default
  config for the architecture).  This is safer than allmodconfig,
  which answers "y" everywhere it can't answer "m" and thus ends up
  enabling a lot of experimental or debug options.  (For this reason,
  a configuration generated by allmodconfig must be carefully checked
  with every new release to ensure that nothing dangerous is enabled.
  The default config should be safer wrt new kernel releases.)

  Overrides are specified in the `config' argument to generic.nix,
  which is a string that contains lines such as `EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL y'.
  The script warns about ignored options, and aborts if `make config'
  selects an answer inconsistent with the one in `config'.  This
  allows us to be sure that `make config' doesn't silently override
  our configuration values (e.g., depending on other options, it will
  set FB_TILEBLITTING to "y" even if we want it to be "n").

Lluís Batlle i Rossell a3403e6828 Finishing the update from trunk, having resolved the eclipse related directory
renaming.
I think directory renaming breaks the usual merges... because it leaves the
'to be removed' directory in the working directory still. A manual 'rm' of the
'to be removed' directory fixed the commit.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 585ba8c27f Big fixes in the cross build:
- Before this changes, cflags and ldflags for the native and the cross compiler
  got mixed. Not all the gcc-wrapper/gcc-cross-wrapper variables are
  independant now, but enough, I think.
- Fixed the generic stdenv expression, which did a big mess on buildInputs and
  buildNativeInputs. Now it distinguishes when there is a stdenvCross or not.
  Maybe we should have a single stdenv and forget about the stdenvCross
  adapter - this could end in a stdenv a bit complex, but simpler than the
  generic stdenv + adapter.
- Added basic support in pkgconfig for cross-builds: a single PKG_CONFIG_PATH
  now works for both the cross and the native compilers, but I think this
  should work well for most cases I can think of.
- I tried to fix the guile expression to cross-biuld; guile is built, but not
  its manual, so the derivation still fails. Guile requires patching to
  cross-build, as far as I understnad.
- Made the glibcCross build to be done through the usage of a
  gcc-cross-wrapper over the gcc-cross-stage-static, instead of using it
  directly.
- Trying to make physfs (a neverball dependency) cross build.
- Updated the gcc expression to support building a cross compiler without getting
  derivation variables mixed with those of the stdenvCross.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell e85500987b Merging from trunk. I had to do two manual merges, quite trivial I think.

Eelco Dolstra 7f5b839524 * Removed selectVersion. There's no good reason to write
`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.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 9b977f5c60 Fixing many things related to the cross compilation in stdenvCross.
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.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 2aba922d30 My first attempt at getting cross compilers in nixpkgs.
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.
