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 ba498d4a43 * composedArgsAndFun -> makeOverridable for consistency.
* Rename a few single-version packages to "default.nix".

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.

Eelco Dolstra fcad0b0a5a * Cleaned up a lot of description fields that contained newlines.
Some of these should be longDescriptions, but most others just
  shouldn't contain newlines.  E.g. write

    description = "Bla";

  and not

    description = ''
      Bla
    '';

  This pollutes "nix-env -qa --description" output.

Michael Raskin f1f9e38e94 Big breaking change. I have radically reduced number of nulls used in all-packages.nix and generally switched to composedArgsAndFun which simply adds .meta.function to everything that has come through it.. I have not tested the build, because OO.o has to be updated...
