Eelco Dolstra 56ea7df62d * Several buildInputs of Gnome-related packages should be
propagatedBuildInputs, because those inputs are required by the *.pc
  or *.la files of the package:

  - If a *.pc file references a non-propagated input, then Gnome
    packages have the bad tendency to silently ignore this problem in
    configure scripts - the failure of a command like `pkg-config
    --cflags foo' will be ignored if a dependency of foo.pc is
    missing, so no flags will be added, and the build will fail later
    on a missing header or library.

  - If a *.la file references a non-propagated input, the build will
    also fail, because Libtool will add library dependencies that it
    cannot find.  (Arguably *.la files should never reference packages
    that aren't in the corresponding *.pc file, but they do it
    anyway).

  By setting the propagatedBuildInputs properly, it should be possible
  to get rid of all the NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE / NIX_LDFLAGS hacks in the
  Gnome expressions.
