This is for consistency with terminology in stdenv (and the terms
"hostDrv" and "buildDrv" are not very intuitive, even if they're
consistent with GNU terminology).
This allows various applications. It allows users to set global
optimisation flags, e.g.
stdenv.userHook = ''NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE+=" -funroll-loops"'';
But the impetus is as an alternative to issue #229, allowing impure
stdenv setup for people who want to use distcc:
stdenv.userHook = "source /my/impure/setup-script.sh";
This is probably a bad idea, but at least now it's a bad idea in
people's configuration and not in Nixpkgs. :-)
Using LD_LIBRARY_PATH, sets overrides of libs for all binaries run.
On mips64, the libz in the bootstrap-tools is a bit incompatible with
the libz binutils are built with (ld.so outputs a warning at every program run
that uses libz). binutils need to be dynamically linked to the libz they
have been linked to.
Glibc creates 'shlib.lds' using the gas program output, and it includes the
ld.so warning in case of using LD_LIBRARY_PATH. That breaks the glibc build.
As Makefile includes BUILD_LDFLAGS for the purpose of cross-rpcgen, I
use this instead of the intrusive LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Just saw Michael Raskin's GNU Chess and XBoard updates and did a short check if
Scid is already in nixpkgs. It wasn't, so I decided to add it, so thanks to
@7c6f434c :-)
The package involves a lot of patching, as usual with Tcl/Tk on NixOS. In this
case the program is written in C++ and embeds the Tcl/Wish interpreter.
Unfortunately this doesn't make it easier to inject TCLLIBPATH, as there doesn't
seem to be a direct library call (well in theory you could `lappend TCLLIBPATH`,
but that won't help with TK_LIBRARY).

stable: 23.0.1271.95 -> 23.0.1271.97 (tested and works)
beta: 24.0.1312.27 -> 24.0.1312.35 (tested and works)
The dev version doesn't build in its newest incarnation, so we will need to fix
and/or patch it before pushing upstream.

Quite a useful tool, especially for non English native speakers to find out what
people mean with things like "hiccup", "boink", "blugle" and whatnot.
And of course it's quite useful to convert between hex/oct/dec/bin.

It seems that (almost?) all NixOS users start X using the services module,
because startx seems to be broken for quite some while. And it hit me while
getting to NixOS for the first time as well, so I then decided to just use the
service module.
As I'm working with multiple X servers, writing wrappers in ~/nixpkgs/config.nix
became tedious and so I decided to fix it, hopefully without breaking anything.
The fix consists of:
* Provide a default location for the Xorg log (~/.xorg.log - hope that's okay)
* Expose xauth through xinit to ensure purity and "unexpected behaviour", also
known as "simply not working", because xauth isn't in the user's environment.
* Actually provide the X binary so it doesn't have to be passed to startx every
time.

The extension pack is needed in order to have USB 2.0, RDP and PXE boot support
and is _not_ part of the free version, so please read their conditions before
using it:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox_PUEL
Further information and details about the extension pack is available here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing
I'm wimping out here and use requireFile to ask the user to fetch the extension
pack manually, simply because I'm not a lawyer. I've seen other distributions
that fetch the extension packs directly from upstream, but I'm not sure if that
is according to Oracle's PUEL.

This is a small wrapper of Git, which integrates some GitHub specific features,
especially stuff like merging or sending pull requests or attaching commits to
an issue.
I'm not quite familiar with the Nix integration of Ruby, so let's hope that I'm
not doing something horrible here.

Yet another HTTP benchmarking tool, which is really quite minimalistic and in
ANSI C.
This package maybe isn't even worth putting it in its own file and directory but
I did it for the sake of consistency.

Quite a lot of patching involved here, but the upstream package is no longer
maintained anymore. Nevertheless the tool is still useful in some environments.

Shouldn't take _that_ long to build, but I was impatient during fixing the
build and it doesn't hurt anyway, does it?

A bunch of these includes expect extra prefixes which we don't have in Nix, so
we are going to batch-fix them with sed.
