I'm updating to 1.1 because that's the version that the patch from
Fedora, which fixes ptrdiff_t build error, applies to.
Removing old patch that doesn't apply anymore. (The patch seems to be
fixing a build error that no longer exist, see
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447928.)
(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
some redundant builds (e.g., GMP was built three times).
* Updated GMP to 5.0.2.
* Updated PPL to 0.11.2.
* Remove ad hoc flags to build GCC's dependencies statically.
Instead, use the ‘makeStaticLibraries’ stdenv adapter.
* Build GMP with C++ support by default.

This is so we only have one version of ppl when stdenv-updates is merged
Tested by nix-build -A gcc4.4, for the reasons detailed in previous commit

gmp; we can update all once we have stable ppl 0.11 and a working cloog-ppl
with all that.
This way we should at least gcc4.5 building with ppl/cloog-ppl

I chose a snapshot of the future 0.11 ppl (that had to be released one or two
months ago, I think), waiting for the 0.11 to be frozen. Only 0.11 supports
building with gmp 5.x
