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.

'' Objective Caml is the most popular variant of the Caml language.
From a language standpoint, it extends the core Caml language with a
fully-fledged object-oriented layer, as well as a powerful module
system, all connected by a sound, polymorphic type system featuring
type inference.
The Objective Caml system is an industrial-strength implementation
of this language, featuring a high-performance native-code compiler
(ocamlopt) for 9 processor architectures (IA32, PowerPC, AMD64,
Alpha, Sparc, Mips, IA64, HPPA, StrongArm), as well as a bytecode
compiler (ocamlc) and an interactive read-eval-print loop (ocaml)
for quick development and portability. The Objective Caml
distribution includes a comprehensive standard library, a replay
debugger (ocamldebug), lexer (ocamllex) and parser (ocamlyacc)
generators, a pre-processor pretty-printer (camlp4) and a
documentation generator (ocamldoc).
