* Zapping/VLC/MPlayer: use libXv.
* MPlayer: upgrade to 1.0pre4.
* Zapping: add libXext to the rpath. I don't understand why this is
necessary. Zapping doesn't itself link against libXext, though some
of its dependencies do. (Maybe this is due to `--export-dynamic'?)

libgcc of the gcc being built, not the gcc building it.
* Only include a directory in the rpath of an executable/library if it
is actually used. Before, the `/lib' directory of every build input
was added to the rpath, causing many unnecessary retained
dependencies. For instance, Perl has a `/lib' directory, but most
applications whose build process uses Perl don't actually link
against Perl. (Also added a test for this.)
* After building glibc, remove glibcbug, to prevent a retained
dependency on gcc.
* Add a newline after `building X' in GNU Make.

adds all directories specified in `ACLOCAL_PATH' to the `aclocal'
command line as `-I' flags. Also, it provides a setup hook that
adds the `.../share/aclocal' directory of every build input to
`ACLOCAL_PATH'.
* Upgraded Libtool.
* Graphviz requires the X Athena widgets, which in turn requires the X
miscellaneous utilities library; added those. However it doesn't
work yet since libXt is broken.

* Make builders unexecutable by removing the hash-bang line and
execute permission.
* Convert calls to `derivation' to `mkDerivation'.
* Remove `system' and `stdenv' attributes from calls to
`mkDerivation'. These transformations were all done automatically,
so it is quite possible I broke stuff.
* Put the `mkDerivation' function in stdenv/generic.

store, rather than outside (such as /bin/sh).
For instance, the Nix expression for the ATerm library now looks
like this:
{stdenv, fetchurl}:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "aterm-2.0.5";
builder = ./builder.sh;
...
}
where `mkDerivation' is a helper function in `stdenv' that massages
the given attribute set into using the bash shell that is part of
the standard environment:
mkDerivation = attrs: derivation (att s // {
builder = pkgs.bash ~ /bin/sh;
args = ["-e" attrs.builder];
stdenv = (...);
system = (...).system;
});
Note that this makes it unnecessary to set the `stdenv' and `system'
attributes, since `mkDerivation' already does that.

whether the system header file directory actually exists (when
calling fixinc), so passing a non-existent directory no longer
works. Instead we make a empty dummy directory.

builders for typical Autoconf-style to be much shorten, e.g.,
. $stdenv/setup
genericBuild
The generic builder does lots of stuff automatically:
- Unpacks source archives specified by $src or $srcs (it knows about
gzip, bzip2, tar, zip, and unpacked source trees).
- Determines the source tree.
- Applies patches specified by $patches.
- Fixes libtool not to search for libraries in /lib etc.
- Runs `configure'.
- Runs `make'.
- Runs `make install'.
- Strips debug information from static libraries.
- Writes nested log information (in the format accepted by
`log2xml').
There are also lots of hooks and variables to customise the generic
builder. See `stdenv/generic/docs.txt'.
* Adapted the base packages (i.e., the ones used by stdenv) to use the
generic builder.
* We now use `curl' instead of `wget' to download files in `fetchurl'.
* Neither `curl' nor `wget' are part of stdenv. We shouldn't
encourage people to download stuff in builders (impure!).
* Updated some packages.
* `buildinputs' is now `buildInputs' (but the old name also works).
* `findInputs' in the setup script now prevents inputs from being
processed multiple times (which could happen, e.g., if an input was
a propagated input of several other inputs; this caused the size
variables like $PATH to blow up exponentially in the worst case).
* Patched GNU Make to write nested log information in the format
accepted by `log2xml'. Also, prior to writing the build command,
Make now writes a line `building X' to indicate what is being
built. This is unfortunately often obscured by the gigantic tool
invocations in many Makefiles. The actual build commands are marked
`unimportant' so that they don't clutter pages generated by
`log2html'.
