This is for consistency with terminology in stdenv (and the terms
"hostDrv" and "buildDrv" are not very intuitive, even if they're
consistent with GNU terminology).
This allows various applications. It allows users to set global
optimisation flags, e.g.
stdenv.userHook = ''NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE+=" -funroll-loops"'';
But the impetus is as an alternative to issue #229, allowing impure
stdenv setup for people who want to use distcc:
stdenv.userHook = "source /my/impure/setup-script.sh";
This is probably a bad idea, but at least now it's a bad idea in
people's configuration and not in Nixpkgs. :-)
Just saw Michael Raskin's GNU Chess and XBoard updates and did a short check if
Scid is already in nixpkgs. It wasn't, so I decided to add it, so thanks to
@7c6f434c :-)
The package involves a lot of patching, as usual with Tcl/Tk on NixOS. In this
case the program is written in C++ and embeds the Tcl/Wish interpreter.
Unfortunately this doesn't make it easier to inject TCLLIBPATH, as there doesn't
seem to be a direct library call (well in theory you could `lappend TCLLIBPATH`,
but that won't help with TK_LIBRARY).

Quite a useful tool, especially for non English native speakers to find out what
people mean with things like "hiccup", "boink", "blugle" and whatnot.
And of course it's quite useful to convert between hex/oct/dec/bin.

Yet another HTTP benchmarking tool, which is really quite minimalistic and in
ANSI C.
This package maybe isn't even worth putting it in its own file and directory but
I did it for the sake of consistency.

Quite a lot of patching involved here, but the upstream package is no longer
maintained anymore. Nevertheless the tool is still useful in some environments.

We can still use the config attribute set from within all-packages to pass it to
the package expression, which we do in case of PulseAudio. In order to override
other stuff you can now conveniently use chromium.override without passing a
fake config attribute set.

Now Hydra should pick up those versions as well, so users can easily switch
between different chromium channels without the need to wait up to several hours
in order to build Chromium (depending on hardware of course, nowadays it
shouldn't take more than one hour, I guess).

Packages like libao or skype already honor config.pulseaudio, so let's assure
that mplayer does so as well.
