Bjørn Forsman c9baba9212 Fix many package descriptions
(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.

Bjørn Forsman 63f9aed9eb minicom: 2.4 -> 2.6.2
This also fixes the annoying issue that minicom doesn't work out of the
box:

  $ minicom
  minicom: there is no global configuration file /etc/minirc.dfl
  Ask your sysadmin to create one (with minicom -s).

  $ sudo minicom -s
  minicom: there is no global configuration file /etc/minirc.dfl
  Ask your sysadmin to create one (with minicom -s).

minicom 2.4 basically refuses to enter setup unless /etc/minirc.dfl
already exists. sudo touch /etc/minirc.dfl is enough to fix that though,
but with this commit "sudo minicom -s" will work out of the box.

Eelco Dolstra 7f5b839524 * Removed selectVersion. There's no good reason to write
`selectVersion ./foo "bar"' instead of `import ./foo/bar.nix'.
* Replaced `with args' with formal function arguments in several
  packages.
* Renamed several files to `default.nix'.  As a general rule, version
  numbers should only be included in the filename when there is a
  reason to keep multiple versions of a package in Nixpkgs.
  Otherwise, it just makes it harder to update the package.
