I had to use a newer patchelf (0.5), otherwise patchelf (0.4) died with an error at
setting the rpath for a lib.
("virtual address overrun" or something like that)
I still don't know of any stable url for a given version, so we will have this working
until they change the package file again updating.

I don't know if the 'unfree' in the amr libraries will stop mplayer being built without its support. We would have to write the all-packages MPlayer expression different, in this case.

On MacOS X, we used to use the native perl interpreter from /usr/bin.
Unfortunately, that interpreter fails to build a number of packages
(Subversion, Git, etc. ...), because it assumes knowledge about the underlying
C compiler that is not valid for the compiler used by Nix. For example,
/usr/bin/perl assumes that the compiler can build binaries for both the ppc and
the x86 architecture. /usr/bin/FCC can do that, but the gcc from Nix can't.
The solution is to compile Perl 5.10 via Nix so that it can properly configure
itself. However, note that the resulting binary is impure: it will find headers
in /usr/include and libraries in /usr/lib -- something a pure perl binary
wouldn't do. In this respect our Nix-compiled perl binary is not better than
the native one from /usr/bin -- it's just more accurately configured.

When building Emacs on MacOS X, the configure script believes that libXaw is
available and tries to link it (even when, in fact, libXaw is not available).
To work around that problem, we make Xaw support mandatory on MacOS X.

They removed the url for that package version, I updated to the latest.
I changed the name from 'trueCrypt' to 'truecrypt'
I added an option for it not to have a gui built.

The OpenSSH binaries built by the expression by default expect system-wide
configuration files in "/etc/ssh", which is a bit of an impurity (and certainly
inconsistent with the way other package handle --sysconfdir in Nix). Those who
prefer a clean installation, can now configure that directory path.
Adding the line "openssh = { etcDir = null; };" to $NIXPKGS_CONFIG configures
OpenSSH to use the default location, i.e. $out/etc. Setting that attribute to a
string will configure OpenSSH to use that concrete path instead.

* Dropped classr.patch; it no longer applies to this version.
* The "configure" script has been renamed to "bootstrap.sh".
* The bootstrapping process generates no Makefile anymore; the build
expression has to call bjam directly to build the libraries.
* Perform build and install phase in one execution of bjam. This is a
lot faster, because bjam won't check the dependencies twice.
