(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.
By default, we now build all the optional nginx modules, including the
out-of-band ones like moreheaders and rtmp support.

Important changes
-----------------
This release contains a lot of bug fixes, many detected by scan.coverity.com
(and more to come). The main reason for the release is a fix for an SQL
injection (and path traversal) bug triggered by specially crafted (and
invalid) Host: headers.
Security fixes
--------------
http://download.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/security/lighttpd_sa_2014_01.txt (no CVE yet)
NOTE: We (nixpkgs) currently don't build the mod_mysql_vhost module mentioned
above.
* Remove package name
* Start with upper case letter
* Remove trailing period
Also reword some descriptions and move some long descriptions to
longDescription.
I'm not touching generated packages.
This also adds pkgconfig to the dependency list so we don't need to
specify the path to OpenSSL anymore, because we need pkgconfig in order
to correctly find Lua anyway.

We already have mini_httpd, but IMHO it is *too* minimal as in not very
flexible in configuration (for example, I haven't found any runtime
configuration for disabling logging), so that's why I decided to add
thttpd, which serves quite well as an ad-hoc HTTPd.

With this patch support for SSL is compiled into lighttpd.
IMO encryption is in most use cases important, therefore SSL support should be build in. This would simplify the setup of a standard web application a lot.
SSL support of lighttpd is documented at
http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/Docs_SSL
The build complains about missing "file" and "which" commands, so add them as
build inputs.
"file" is used by the autotools configure script to tweak what -m flag
(if any) to pass to the linker when it asks it for shared library
support.
Here is an example of -m values for GNU ld:
Supported emulations:
elf_x86_64
elf32_x86_64
elf_i386
i386linux
elf_l1om
elf_k1om
"which" is used in the build phase to look for svnversion and git, to build a
version stamp. Since we build from a release tarball (and don't pass svn or git
as inputs either), this check fails and falls back to the version number in the
tarball.
There is one build warning left, but I think this is normal on NixOS:
/tmp/nix-build-lighttpd-1.4.32.drv-0/lighttpd-1.4.32/libtool: line 1085: ldconfig: command not found
One important denial of service (in 1.4.31) fix: CVE-2012-5533[1].
NOTE: There are some errors about missing commands during the build, but
I'm pretty sure they were there before. And the result seems to be
working anyway...
* /usr/bin/file: No such file or directory
* /bin/sh: line 2: which: command not found
* /tmp/nix-build-lighttpd-1.4.32.drv-0/lighttpd-1.4.32/libtool: line 1085: ldconfig: command not found

The NixOS service module loads those modules by default. So we need to build
them here as well.
I'm not really sure why these modules are included by default, because (except
from maybe CGI) they obviously are only usable in very rare cases. Am I wrong?
