some programs (such as module-init-tools) need it.
* Remove module-init-tools-static, it now builds out of the box with
dietlibc.

`@var@' in the file `src', writing the result to $out, where `var'
is any environment variable starting with a lowercase character.
Example:
genericSubstituter {
src = ./file;
foo = "bla";
shell = bash + "/bin/sh";
};
will replace `@foo@' with `bla' and `@shell@' with
`/nix/store/...-bash-.../bin/sh'.

* Kernel: accept a list of kernel patches through the kernelPatches
argument. The names of the patches are added to the description
attribute (e.g., "The Linux kernel (with patches:
skas-2.6.18-v9-pre9)").
* Generic builder (forked in setup-new.sh): support patches that are
compressed using gzip or bzip2.

- Hack to make it work with the latest host kernel headers
(2.6.18.1).
- Don't call depmod impurily, rather use oldskool modutils.
- modutils: use the final version, and use GCC 3.4 to compile it
(4.1 doesn't work).

* To prevent this kind of thing, check that all tools are statically
linked.
* Use findutils 4.2.27, 4.2.28 doesn't build with dietlibc.

Glibc. This is useful when building GCC.
* gcc-wrapper: the dynamic linker has a different name on x86_64 and
powerpc.
* gcc-wrapper: "glibc" -> "libc", because someday we might support
different C libraries.
* gcc: don't do a multilib build (e.g., 32-bit support on x86_64),
don't need it.
* gcc: merge in support for static builds.
* gcc: various simplifications in the compiler/linker flags, hope they
work.

* The statically linked bootstrap tools are now automatically
reproducable, just do:
$ nix-build ./make-bootstrap-tools.nix
The resulting binaries in result/in-nixpkgs go to
stdenv/linux/bootstrap/<platform>/, and the tarballs in
result/on-server go to
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/tarballs/trunk/stdenv-linux/<platform>/<revision>/.
These are checked out on nix.cs.uu.nl under http://.../dist/tarballs.
* The statically linked libraries all use dietlibc now (except
patchelf and glibc), so they are much smaller. This is especially
nice for the tools in the Nixpkgs tree, since it makes Nixpkgs
tarballs smaller.
* Use Binutils 2.17 and GCC 4.1.1 for the bootstrap.
* The stdenv is now based on Glibc 2.5. I hope it works ;-)
