* Quick proof-of-concept of making it easy to override package

Browse Source 
configuration options in ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix.  Example:

  {
    packageOverrides = pkgs: {
      subversion = pkgs.subversion.function (origArgs: {
        bdbSupport = false;
        pythonBindings = !origArgs.pythonBindings;
      });
    };
  }

  I.e. pkgs.subversion.function is the original function call to the
  Subversion function in all-packages.nix.

  This requires the "subversion" attribute to use makeOverridable,
  which stores the original function and function arguments in the
  "function" attribute of the result.
