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.

On the downside, the build process of stdenvLinux builds gcc 9 times
(3 x 3 bootstrap stages). That's a bit excessive.

* 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.

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'.

checked whether absolute paths passed to gcc/ld refer to the store,
which is wrong: they can also refer to the build tree
(/tmp/nix-...).
* Less static composition in the construction of stdenv-nix-linux:
gcc-wrapper and generic are now passed in as arguments, rather then
referenced by relative path. This makes it easier to hack on a
specific stage of the bootstrap process (before, a change to, e.g.,
generic/setup.sh would cause all bootstrap stages to be redone).

- gcc/ld-wrappers have been factored out into a separate
derivation. This allows a working gcc to be installed in the user
environment. (Previously the Nix gcc didn't work because it
needed a whole bunch of flags to point to glibc.)
- Better modularity: packages can specify hooks into the setup
scripts. For instance, setup no longer knows about the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable; pkgconfig can set it up instead.
- gcc not longer depends on binutils. This simplifies the bootstrap
process.

(stdenv) on Linux. The previous 1-stage bootstrap was insufficient,
because the tools in stdenv where built by native tools. For
instance, the Nix bash had a reference to /lib/libncurses. This
doesn't happen with a 2-stage bootstrap, since the bash built in
stage 2 will be built with the gcc built in stage 1, which doesn't
search in the "standard" locations.
Motto: "Disparaging the boot is a bootable offense."

stages of the bootstrap process (i.e., stdenvLinuxBoot).
* Add those packages to the distribution. We didn't do that before
because it would cause them to be built twice.

a big problem, so I decided to require to user to get the
file and put it in some location in the file system. wget
doesn't seem to accept the file scheme however, so I had to
move the copying into the builder itself. The builder checks
the md5 hash of the downloaded file. Maybe having a separate
'fetchfile' would be useful to make a file in the outside
world pure. I tried to add this to build-support, but this
obviously did not work. I still committed it. Just remove it
if you think that it sucks.

and automake. Copying the files in $libtool/share/aclocal to
$autoconf/share/aclocal does not work (and causes collisions when
installing the tools in the user environment). The solution seems to
be to install the three distributions in one single $out directory,
i.e., consider them as one package.

against the right dynamic libraries. set-env.sh add the right linker flags to the
NIX_LDFLAGS environment variable, which is passed by gcc-wrapper to the linker.
(In many cases these flags could just be passed through LDFLAGS to configure
scripts; however, in many other cases this doesn't work properly.)

* Disabled gtkspell support in pan since it (and it alone) has a conflict with the
system glibc.
* Use CPU detection in MPlayer so that it also works on systems with different CPUs
than the build system's.

* A solution to the library abstraction problem (i.e., if
package X needs library Y, and library Y needs library Z,
then we do not (generally) want to declare Z as a input to X
since that would break abstraction). This was not possible
under the old Nix.
