(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.

I had to update all the pyside programs, or freecad failed to build. I picked
the versions advertised in http://qt-project.org/wiki/PySideDownloads . The
rest I took for github latest releases.

Conflicts:
nixos/modules/services/x11/desktop-managers/default.nix
Two imports were added independently on the same line.
I split it as well, as it was very long now.
feh uses argv[0] to set the default theme, because
feh is wrapped this will be .feh-wrapper. This makes
it hard to use the configuration on multiple systems
and can be confusion. Therefore the theme is explicity
set to 'feh'.
Note that longDescription should not be formatted as:
longDescription =
'' Bla bla
bla bla
'';
because this will cause the second line to have more preceding
whitespace. It should be:
longDescription =
''
Bla bla
bla bla
'';
CVE-2012-2763 and three others. If we really need to resurrect it,
I think I saw debian could have patches for these somewhere.
Also add linux platforms for 2.8.
- Unify the "single" and "float" variants, which are the same thing.
- Enable threads and openmp wrapper by default (they are very small).
- Don't use sse on i686, as I'm quite sure we have no warrant for that.
Cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_Pro
- Disable static libs (big, no indication we need them).
- I tested most builds using fftw (they build OK).
It's to separate from other changes coming from master.
