overriden at runtime (not enabled yet, but it works). This will
allow us to build Glibc with no or a minimal set of locales (which
cuts 70 MB from the installed size of Glibc). The locales that the
user actually needs can then be built separately and enabled by
setting the environment variable LOCALE_ARCHIVE. For instance, on
NixOS, we could set it to something like
/var/run/current-system/locale-archive. For setuid applications,
the variable is ignored.
This is especially useful on 64-bit systems, because there we tend
to have *two* copies of locale-archive (namely in the 32-bit and
64-bit builds of Glibc). Having only one copy allows at least 70 MB
to be cut from the NixOS installation CD.

into haskell-packages.nix, which depends on an instance of GHC.
This allows a consistent set of packages to be built with the same
GHC. For instance,
$ nix-build -A haskellPackages_ghc683.xmonad
builds xmonad and all its dependencies with GHC 6.8.3, while
$ nix-build -A haskellPackages_ghc6102.xmonad
does the same with GHC 6.10.2. This is the same technique used with
kernelPackages. It also means that we don't need things like
"cabal682" and "cabal683" anymore.
* The setup hook is now in a separate wrapper package so that we don't
have to recompile all of GHC every time we want to make a small
change.

* Removed the old ghc-wrapper, which hasn't been used for a long time.
* Renamed the "boot" GHC to "binary", which is more descriptive.

svn revert -R; anyway it seems a bug in svn.)

required all that space because it was building static/shared,
single-thread/multi-threaded, and debug/production versions of the
libraries - as well as every combination of those. Now we build
only the shared, multi-threaded, production version, which needs
only 8 MB. The headers account for the other 50 MB, so it might be
worthwhile to split them off into a separate package (in order to
reduce the runtime closure of applications that use Boost, such as
KDE).
* Removed some Boost versions that aren't used anymore.
