So, this is our sledgehammer, forcing -fno-stack-protector for every gcc/g++ in
the univ... Chromium build. Of course this is a somewhat nasty fix and there
should be a real fix somewhere in Chromium 26. But instead of wandering around
and picking cherries, we now go out for the slaughter until someone brings us
the damn cherries because we are FUURRRIII... no well... time for sleep :-)
May the mighty Hydra be with us!
Thanks to our great fellow @cillianderoiste, for joining the battle with his
almighty battle axe, crushing and burning some CPUs.

This should at least mitigate our build error to only occur in v8 anymore.
Unfortunately we can't use v8 from nixpkgs right now, so we're going to put out
our sledgehammer in the next commit. Meanwhile, it doesn't hurt to get rid of
the bundled protobuf library, so let's do it.

Unfortunately, we have build errors for version 25 in the bundled libvpx:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/4173075http://hydra.nixos.org/build/4173066
As I can't reproduce this on my local system (I've disabled the option
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR here), let's just hope that libvpx is the only part
that fails during build because of this.

The upgrade currently doesn't involve the -lite package, as we need to use a few
more dependencies from nixpkgs first before we can finally fully switch over to
the lite package, even though the update script will try to fetch it anyway.
In this update, one particular problem that arises in conjuction with the
seccomp BPF sandbox is caused by this commit:
https://chromiumcodereview.appspot.com/12209029
Which particularily filters flags to the clone() syscall. I've spent (wasted?) a
few hours figuring out the troublesome flag, eventually figuring it out and -
just by curiousity ("Do other distributions have the same problem?") - searched
the web for "chromium CLONE_DETACHED" and BEHOLD...
A post from our OWN mailinglist pops up with the same patch I intended to do:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.nixos/10356
So shame on me for not being subscribed to the mailing list, and big thanks to
Ian Farmer for the patch.
As a consequence I'm now subscribed.
So, back to chromium itself, version 26 builds fine and works so far without
much (more to come in later commits) trouble.
We also had to introduce three more dependencies:
* protobuf: This one is because we don't need to use the bundled one anymore,
so we can use the version in nixpkgs.
* speechd: Not sure whether this was bundled or not, but let's use nixpkgs
version as well to keep down build time.
* libXdamage: Needed for screen capturing support.

This patches the Hydrogen scons build script to work a failure to
parse the JACK version correctly. If I understand correctly upstream
Hydrogen now uses cmake instead of Scons, so this shouldn't be a
problem with the next Hydrogen release.
This is just in order to make it easier to determine the latest upstream version
from the Packages file of Google's APT repository.

This update is a bit more problematic, as the bundled version of libpng is
version 1.2.45 and the version in nixpkgs is 1.5.13. Even if trying to run with
libpng12 from nixpkgs, it seems to collide with parts of the bundled version.
So, until this is either fixed upstream or we have a good solution, we're using
bundled libpng for chromium version 25 and higher.

Let's begin with the most trivial one: The stable version.
This version just contains a few bug fixes and builds fine so far.

Starting with version 26, there is a chromium-$version-lite package and it is an
LZMA archive as well, so download size is reduced by about 44%.
