It fetches the latest version based on the bucketlist XML from
commondatastorage and generates a "source.nix" which contains an attribute set
about where to fetch the latest version.
The XML is parsed in a somewhat hackish way using sed, but as this is just an
updater, its okay and we don't want to break a fly on the wheel by employing a
full XML parser.
This only gets chromium to build so far, installation is missing by upstream, so
we need to manually copy the corresponding files. And I guess with nix, we also
need to patch a few paths on installation.
Another issue is that at the moment, a lot of dependencies are used from the
source tree, rather than from the system.
Also, it would be nice to build using LLVM, as it really speeds up compilation a
*LOT* and also has the side effect of resulting in smaller binaries.
Working unit tests would be nice, too. Unfortunately they're quite heavyweight
and take hours to run, so I guess "someday" would be the most appropriate time
to integrate.
Further todo's:
- Allow to disable GConf, GIO and CUPS.
- Option to disable the sandbox (for whatever reason the user might have).
- Integrate gold binutils.
- Pulseaudio support.
- Clearly separate Linux specific stuff.

Need to investigate where malloc_message is defined.

I took mainly the patch from Alexandr Foremny, but I had to solve conflicts.
Moreover it required the old webkit.

This merge leads to a big rebuild, but this wouldn't hurt as I'm going to
reintegrate this branch soon.

Not merged r32497 (tree conflict, glibc GNU Hurd update). Ludovic, could you
please look at this?
svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=32520
Merge conflicts:
* unzip (almost trivial)
* dvswitch (trivial)
* gmp (copied result of `git merge`)
The last item introduced gmp-5.0.3, thus full rebuild.
+ensureDir->mkdir -p in TeX packages was catched by git but not svn.

--enable-official-branding to get a browser that calls itself
"Firefox". But I'll leave the flag in for the moment.
* Removed Firefox 8.0.
