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.

Eelco Dolstra 973c9abdbe Fix info command
The "info" command has been broken on NixOS since
457fdb3842 (proving that nobody uses
info).

Vladimír Čunát 457fdb3842 texinfo: move ncurses support into texinfoInteractive
This, for example, drops the stdenv dependency on ncurses.

Eelco Dolstra ab3eeabfed Rename buildNativeInputs -> nativeBuildInputs
Likewise for propagatedBuildNativeInputs, etc.  "buildNativeInputs"
sounds like an imperative rather than a noun phrase.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 508fc749f4 Making texinfo look nicer related to cross-build (we had some cleaning up to do for the time when we rebuild stdenv. It looks like a good time for that)

Lluís Batlle i Rossell fca769846a Adding a new special attribute for mkDerivation: crossAttrs. It sits next to
"meta" and "passthru", and these attributes will be appended to the usual
mkDerivation attributes only if the package is cross built.
This allows putting some of the cross-building logic in the mkDerivation
nix parameters, and not only in the final builder script, as it was until now.

Eelco Dolstra bf65ff9ec6 * Use the texinfo-4.13a tarball. Strangely, the texinfo-4.13 tarball
has a different hash on ftp.nluug.nl, which happens to be the first
  mirror for fetchurl, thus building texinfo failed.

Eelco Dolstra 12ae5363ea * Remove trivial builders.
* Make builders unexecutable by removing the hash-bang line and
  execute permission.
* Convert calls to `derivation' to `mkDerivation'.
* Remove `system' and `stdenv' attributes from calls to
  `mkDerivation'.  These transformations were all done automatically,
  so it is quite possible I broke stuff.
* Put the `mkDerivation' function in stdenv/generic.
