* Removed substitute, it's part of the generic builder now.
* stdenv-initial (Linux): use the real generic builder script. This
does require that sed is in the path of the builder of the initial
stdenv.

fixupPhase strips binaries, runs patchelf, etc. This is so that
those things still happen when somebody overrides installPhase.

often the same flags need to be passed to both `make' and `make
install'. Added a variable buildFlags for flags that should only be
passed to `make'.

* If the environment variable buildCommand is set, then eval that
instead of doing the build phases. This is used by the runCommand
function in all-packages.nix to allow one-lines like
foo = runCommand "foo" {} "mkdir $out; echo foo > $out/foo";

* Kernel: accept a list of kernel patches through the kernelPatches
argument. The names of the patches are added to the description
attribute (e.g., "The Linux kernel (with patches:
skas-2.6.18-v9-pre9)").
* Generic builder (forked in setup-new.sh): support patches that are
compressed using gzip or bzip2.

This has a major advantage: you can write hooks directly in Nix
expressions. For instance, rather than write a builder like this:
source $stdenv/setup
postInstall=postInstall
postInstall() {
ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip
ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat
}
genericBuild
(the gzip builder), you can just add this attribute to the
derivation:
postInstall = "ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip; ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat";
and so a separate build script becomes unnecessary. This should
allow us to get rid of most builders in Nixpkgs.
* Allow configure and make arguments to contain whitespace.
Previously, you could say, for instance
configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0"
but not
configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0 -g"
since the `-g' would be interpreted as a separate argument to
configure. Now you can say
configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g")
or similarly
configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g" "LDFLAGS=-L/foo -L/bar")
which does the right thing. Idem for makeFlags, installFlags,
checkFlags and distFlags.
Unfortunately you can't pass arrays to Bash through the environment,
so you can't put the array above in a Nix expression, e.g.,
configureFlagsArray = ["CFLAGS=-O0 -g"];
since it would just be flattened to a since string. However, you
can use the inline hooks described above:
preConfigure = "configureFlagsArray=(\"CFLAGS=-O0 -g\")";

set to the result, but don't use them in the actual derivation (so
they're not inputs). Useful to pass through extra attributes that
are not inputs, but should be made available to Nix expressions
using the derivation (e.g., in assertions).

function to regenerate itself with a different setup script. This
is useful for experimenting with changes to the setup script in
specific packages without triggering a rebuild of everything.
* stdenv/generic/setup-latest.sh is a branch of setup.sh containing
pending changes that will be merged into setup.sh eventually.
* setup-latest.sh: don't use tar's "z" and "j" flags. Rather, call
gzip and bunzip2 directly.

contains arbitrary information about a package, like this:
meta = {
homepage = "http://gcc.gnu.org/";
license = "GPL/LGPL";
description = "GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x";
};
The "meta" attribute is not passed to the actual derivation
operation, so it's not a dependency --- changes to "meta" attributes
don't trigger a recompilation.
Now we have to standardise some useful attributes ;-)

all-packages. That is, an attribute like "bash" in all-packages.nix
should evaluate to the "bash" used to build stdenv, it shouldn't
build a new one.
Hm, this would be a lot cleaner if we had lazy_rec ;-)
