The expression inherits integer width from OpenBLAS, so Octave will use
64-bit integers if OpenBLAS supports it. However, this feature in Octave
is experimental, so we continue to use OpenBLAS with 32-bit integers by
default. (This only applies to the integer width, the pointer width is
always the platform-native width.)
I find octave quite unusable, without its help pages. Recently it started to
require gnuplot to generate them (even the text-only).
I also enabled parallel building. A comment from 2012 said about spurious
failures if it were enabled, but I don't know if these happen again. Let's
enable it to see.

I also add more libs octave appreciates for some functions.
I've not tested the graphics toolkit, but it builds.

Linking octave with clapack did not work.
I updated lapack, and additionally I build it with atlas, instead of blas. That should give
better performance. I don't know if atlas builds everywhere though.
On the other hand, maybe some programs linking with liblapack will fail. We'll have to check
the hydra reports.
I plan to remove clapack; liblapack provides a C interface too.

plot(1), as 3.6.0 also did. I don't know what's wrong there.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Exact as 3.6.0. I'll revert to the old octave version that worked without any
blas or lapack implementation.

Made octave link with graphicsmagick to get imread() working.
Nevertheless, imread does not work, because of some problems between octave and latest versions of graphicsmagick: http://www-old.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-maintainers/2010-February/015295.html
Next to do: add an older version of graphics magick for octave.

source regions which are substituded by the tool nix-repository-manager.
See http://github.com/MarcWeber/nix-repository-manager/raw/master/README.
sourceByName is called sourceFromHead now.
updates: MPlayerTrunk, haxe, neko, netsurf, cinelerra, ctags
cinelerra does no longer build due to Xorg update

URLs to http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/tarballs. With content-addressable
mirror support (r9190, NIXPKGS-70) this is no longer necessary:
fetchurl will try to download from that location automatically. So
we can keep the original URLs.
