Eelco Dolstra 5941f66f0e * The stdenv setup script now defines a generic builder that allows
builders for typical Autoconf-style to be much shorten, e.g.,

    . $stdenv/setup
    genericBuild

  The generic builder does lots of stuff automatically:

  - Unpacks source archives specified by $src or $srcs (it knows about
    gzip, bzip2, tar, zip, and unpacked source trees).
  - Determines the source tree.
  - Applies patches specified by $patches.
  - Fixes libtool not to search for libraries in /lib etc.
  - Runs `configure'.
  - Runs `make'.
  - Runs `make install'.
  - Strips debug information from static libraries.
  - Writes nested log information (in the format accepted by
    `log2xml').

  There are also lots of hooks and variables to customise the generic
  builder.  See `stdenv/generic/docs.txt'.

* Adapted the base packages (i.e., the ones used by stdenv) to use the
  generic builder.

* We now use `curl' instead of `wget' to download files in `fetchurl'.

* Neither `curl' nor `wget' are part of stdenv.  We shouldn't
  encourage people to download stuff in builders (impure!).

* Updated some packages.

* `buildinputs' is now `buildInputs' (but the old name also works).

* `findInputs' in the setup script now prevents inputs from being
  processed multiple times (which could happen, e.g., if an input was
  a propagated input of several other inputs; this caused the size
  variables like $PATH to blow up exponentially in the worst case).

* Patched GNU Make to write nested log information in the format
  accepted by `log2xml'.  Also, prior to writing the build command,
  Make now writes a line `building X' to indicate what is being
  built.  This is unfortunately often obscured by the gigantic tool
  invocations in many Makefiles.  The actual build commands are marked
  `unimportant' so that they don't clutter pages generated by
  `log2html'.

Eelco Dolstra 0fd59fd7a4 * Re-enabled purity checking: it should work now. First we only
checked whether absolute paths passed to gcc/ld refer to the store,
  which is wrong: they can also refer to the build tree
  (/tmp/nix-...).

* Less static composition in the construction of stdenv-nix-linux:
  gcc-wrapper and generic are now passed in as arguments, rather then
  referenced by relative path.  This makes it easier to hack on a
  specific stage of the bootstrap process (before, a change to, e.g.,
  generic/setup.sh would cause all bootstrap stages to be redone).

Eelco Dolstra de13527000 * Finally got stdenv-nix-linux working again. Still not perfect,
though.
* libxml2: upgrade to latest.
* octavefront/rna: keep debug info.

Eelco Dolstra 946a2d4a48 * gcc-wrapper now filters out -L and -I flags referring to paths
outside the store (in pure builds).

Eelco Dolstra ce50734cf0 * Started reorganising stdenv:
- gcc/ld-wrappers have been factored out into a separate
    derivation.  This allows a working gcc to be installed in the user
    environment.  (Previously the Nix gcc didn't work because it
    needed a whole bunch of flags to point to glibc.)
    
  - Better modularity: packages can specify hooks into the setup
    scripts.  For instance, setup no longer knows about the
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable; pkgconfig can set it up instead.

  - gcc not longer depends on binutils.  This simplifies the bootstrap
    process.
