even if some build phase failed if the variable `$succeedOnFailure'
is set to 1. If that happens, the file `$out/nix-support/failed' is
created to mark the build result as bad. This is useful for release
management systems that might want to publish failed releases.

* A new `distPhase' to build source distributions (enabled when
$doDist = 1).
* A new `checkPhase' to perform `make check' (enabled when $doCheck =
1).
* Allow the prefix to be redirected, either by setting $prefix or by
setting $useTempPrefix to 1. Useful when making distributions.
* Allow the build or install phases to be skipped by setting
$dontBuild $dontInstall to 1.
* Allow the order of phases to be changed by setting $phases.

* Remove precompiled headers, which are nice except that
A) they don't work; and
B) they make gcc take up 270% more disk space.

("/usr/bin/ld: can't use -s with -r (resulting file would not be
relocatable)").
* Since stdenv/generic had to be modified for this, I forked it in
situ. This should be merged later.

* Tried to upgrade Firefox to 0.9, but it's too broken. It's
basically impossible to build it automatically. Firefox must be
started once as a user with write permission to the Firefox
directory to generate some files, and this can only be done
interactively (apparently). Hopefully 0.10 fixes this. Firefox
also barfs with link errors if the flag `--enable-single-profile' is
not used.

An interesting complication is that we have to change the ELF type
of the executable from `Linux' to `SVR4', otherwise the
`ld-linux.so.2' trick to override the glibc used doesn't work
(apparently `Linux' is not a recognised ELF type!).
UT doesn't work with software Mesa, so right now we impurily use
`/usr/lib/libGL.so'. I cannot really test whether it works with
hardware Mesa, since it barfs with an error about missing OpenGL
extensions. But that's probably because I'm testing this on an
iBook over an SSH connection to a Linux machine.

to deploy existing binary-only components.
We use the `ld-linux.so.2 PROGRAM' trick to force the use of our own
glibc, and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the required libraries
(X11, Mesa).
Since Mesa is software-only, Q3A is rather slow. I'll have to
figure out how to use the Mesa from XFree86 (X.Org), since it knows
how to use DRI (or at least speak the GLX protocol). Unfortunately
the xlibs people haven't modularised that part of XFree86 yet.
Also, the flag `+set s_initsound 0' has to be passed to Quake to
disable sound, otherwise it segfaults on startup. It doesn't do
this with the normal glibc, which is strange. Maybe it tries to
dynamically load some sound library or something.

* 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'?)

the tree being fetched from a Subversion repository. The revision
number is now optional (and defaults to HEAD).
This makes `fetchsvn' more pure. First, a URL/revision tuple does
not uniquely identify a file resource, since the repository itself
might change. Second, `svn:external' attributes can cause arbitrary
resources to be exported.
A script `nix-prefetch-svn' has been provided to determine the hash
of a URL.

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.

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