After this change, Emacs can load the magit-*.el files without further
configuration. Just add
(require 'magit-autoloads)
to ~/.emacs, and run M-x magit-status or any other magit command.
The idea of downloading the source code tarball directly from gitorious.org was
great, but didn't work. Apparently, those tarballs have different checksums
every time they're generated. To remedy the situation, I've copied the proper
tarball statically to <http://cryp.to/magit-mainline-0.7-94-gbf42bf8.tar.gz>.

Magit has seen plenty of development since version 0.7, but for some reason
there haven't been any new releases. This version bump updates the expression to
build a current version of Magit directly from the Git repository.
This change adds buildInputs 'autoconf' and 'automake'. These tools are required
only because we aren't building from a proper release tarball. Once version 0.8
comes out, these dependencies can be dropped again.
