Bjørn Forsman a31ba7ed65 eagle: new package
Eagle is a schematic capture and PCB layout program from CadSoft. This
is proprietary software; CadSoft provide a self-extracting shell script
with embedded tarball of the prebuilt application.

Add the latest Eagle version, 6.4.0.

I've added a small LD_PRELOAD library that redirects operations on the
license file from <eagle_install_path>/bin/eagle.key to
$HOME/.eagle.key. Without this Eagle will never get past the license
dialog (because you cannot write to the nix store).

Eagle also has issues copying its example projects to other locations;
it seems that it wants to preserve the read-only permissions from the
source over to the destination. Because of this it cannot complete the
copy operation because it cannot write the project files into to the
(read-only) project directory it just created. So wrap chmod by OR'ing
in the write-by-owner bit.

/*
* LD_PRELOAD trick to make Eagle (schematic editor and PCB layout tool from
* CadSoft) work from a read-only installation directory.
*
* When Eagle starts, it looks for the license file in <eagle>/bin/eagle.key
* (where <eagle> is the install path). If eagle.key is not found, Eagle checks
* for write access to <eagle>/bin/, shows a license dialog to the user and
* then attempts to write a license file to <eagle>/bin/.
*
* This will of course fail when Eagle is installed in the read-only Nix store.
* Hence this library that redirects accesses to the those paths in the
* following way:
*
* <eagle>/bin => $HOME
* <eagle>/bin/eagle.key => $HOME/.eagle.key
*
* Also, if copying an example project to ~/eagle/ (in the Eagle GUI), Eagle
* chmod's the destination with read-only permission bits (presumably because
* the source is read-only) and fails to complete the copy operation.
* Therefore, the mode argument in calls to chmod() is OR'ed with the S_IWUSR
* bit (write by owner).
*
* Usage:
* gcc -shared -fPIC -DEAGLE_PATH="$out/eagle-${version}" eagle_fixer.c -o eagle_fixer.so -ldl
* LD_PRELOAD=$PWD/eagle_fixer.so ./result/bin/eagle
*
* To see the paths that are modified at runtime, set the environment variable
* EAGLE_FIXER_DEBUG to 1.
