nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/default.nix
Eelco Dolstra f1166e0bbb * Through the magic of functional programming, let stdenv export a
function to regenerate itself with a different setup script.  This
  is useful for experimenting with changes to the setup script in
  specific packages without triggering a rebuild of everything.

* stdenv/generic/setup-latest.sh is a branch of setup.sh containing
  pending changes that will be merged into setup.sh eventually.

* setup-latest.sh: don't use tar's "z" and "j" flags.  Rather, call
  gzip and bunzip2 directly.
