/* Make a set of packages with a common scope. All packages called
with the provided `callPackage' will be evaluated with the same
arguments. Any package in the set may depend on any other. The
`override' function allows subsequent modification of the package
set in a consistent way, i.e. all packages in the set will be
called with the overridden packages. The package sets may be
hierarchical: the packages in the set are called with the scope
provided by `newScope' and the set provides a `newScope' attribute
which can form the parent scope for later package sets. */
