Consider this as a first step towards the integration of Qt5 into nixpkgs,
it does not yet intends to replace Qt4 on every packages even if possible.
My goal here is to have a first derivation in common between people who
needs qt5 for development purposes.
The derivation has been written from scratch but I took care to read at the
version 4 to re-integrate some patches which are still compatible. However,
I did not had enough time to test gtkStyle and flashplayerFix as I do not
use any of them. Also, OSX users will have to do some extra work because
I do not have any mac.
Finally, as some configure flags have changed and in an hope to provide a
clear package definition before it becomes mature, I voluntary added some
flags which are default. Once every option will be mastered, we will just
have to redo a pass on qt5 configure flags and remove the ones which are
set by default.
To give the ability to use a different Qt version than the default one
(which can build 3 different times Qt Libraries if we mixed the default
one, the qtcreator one and the version including all the examples and the
docs).
Right now a developer can choose to directly install the QtSDK which
includes a "full" (developerBuild + docs + examples) Qt version and uses
it to build QtCreator.
The possibility to only install QtCreator and its previous behavior has
been kept for flexibility purposes (we do not need to force someone on the
SDK approach).
FriBID is an open source software for the Swedish e-id system called
BankID. FriBID also supports processor architectures and Linux/BSD
distributions that the official software doesn't support.

FriBID plugin is a firefoxWrapper plugin. Enabled by setting:
nixpkgs.config.enableFriBIDPlugin = true
Kept the old hacks where they don't break the build in case they things
they fix are still relevant.
I checked that the upgrade doesn't break:
1) Asymptote and EProver builds.
2) My XeLaTeX demo from configurations/ repository.
3) Some of my own files.
The upgrade fixes problems with simultaneous use of 3D and LaTeX labels
in Asymptote.
Please provide a test that worked previously and is broken now if you
need to revert this update or its parts.
Features:
+ configurable via environment variables
+ can skip the actual launching of the lisp implementation (source it
with NIX_LISP_SKIP_CODE=1 to get all the settings)
+ currently supports SBCL, CLisp, ECL
+ determines lisp implementation from NIX_LISP_COMMAND variable or
from buildInputs
+ sets ASDF search path for packages using buildInputs
