Packages that need git as build-time or run-time dependency typically refer to
the attribute 'git', which is the expression with the least possible set of
features.
Users, however, who run "nix-env -i git", don't want that version, because it
lacks support for SVN, for sending e-mail, and it doesn't include the GUI. In
other words, users want gitFull by default, which is what this change
accomplishes.

This also means adding a lowPrio wrapper, because without it nix-env
would prefer the "-full" expression over the normal one.
Maybe that's desirable, even?

Patch Tcl/Tk scripts to invoke 'wish' using the complete executable path to
ensure that the proper version is being used.

The postInstall hook replaces identical copies of the same files in $out with
symlinks. This patch changes the call to 'ln' to pass the '-v' flag so that we
can see in the build log which files were replaced.

The "find -print | while read" loop failed to deal with paths that contain
whitespace. Instead, we now use a similar construct that's based on globbing.

The git-gui module cannot be wrapped like gitk, because the Tcl implementation
uses the program's basename to determine stuff like the name of the Window it
opens, etc., and it cannot deal with a program name that contain a dot, like
".git-gui-wrapped" did.
Instead of wrapping git-gui, it's now patched to execute 'wish' with a complete
store path.
While I was at it, I also applied this solution to git-gui--askpass.

I take action before much discussion.
For what I see:
- getPkgConfig problems are hard to track
- config.nix trying to forecast getPkgConfig behaviour looks me as a bad approach,
and people should not trust such a config.nix unless they parsed the whole nixpkgs
for tricky effects.
- It's not that hard to write config.nix in the style of getConfig
- Every now and then newcomers hit the "'git' is an attribute set while a boolean was expected".
Maybe this will disrupt nixes of some people, and that will be a background on what to discuss.

If a build expressions has set "enableParallelBuilding = true", then the
generic builder may utilize more than one CPU core to build that particular
expression. This feature works out of the box for GNU Make. Expressions that
use other build drivers like Boost.Jam or SCons have to specify appropriate
flags such as "-j${NIX_BUILD_CORES}" themselves.
