- The package has a non-standard build interface;
fixed with hooks for genericBuild
- The graph library requires x11 and the configure
script looks in absolute directory paths to find
X11. Fixed by using patched configure script from
which the absolute paths have been removed. As
a consequence the graph library is not build until
we have X11 support in Nix.

* A new `distPhase' to build source distributions (enabled when
$doDist = 1).
* A new `checkPhase' to perform `make check' (enabled when $doCheck =
1).
* Allow the prefix to be redirected, either by setting $prefix or by
setting $useTempPrefix to 1. Useful when making distributions.
* Allow the build or install phases to be skipped by setting
$dontBuild $dontInstall to 1.
* Allow the order of phases to be changed by setting $phases.

* Remove precompiled headers, which are nice except that
A) they don't work; and
B) they make gcc take up 270% more disk space.

("/usr/bin/ld: can't use -s with -r (resulting file would not be
relocatable)").
* Since stdenv/generic had to be modified for this, I forked it in
situ. This should be merged later.

An interesting complication is that we have to change the ELF type
of the executable from `Linux' to `SVR4', otherwise the
`ld-linux.so.2' trick to override the glibc used doesn't work
(apparently `Linux' is not a recognised ELF type!).
UT doesn't work with software Mesa, so right now we impurily use
`/usr/lib/libGL.so'. I cannot really test whether it works with
hardware Mesa, since it barfs with an error about missing OpenGL
extensions. But that's probably because I'm testing this on an
iBook over an SSH connection to a Linux machine.

to deploy existing binary-only components.
We use the `ld-linux.so.2 PROGRAM' trick to force the use of our own
glibc, and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the required libraries
(X11, Mesa).
Since Mesa is software-only, Q3A is rather slow. I'll have to
figure out how to use the Mesa from XFree86 (X.Org), since it knows
how to use DRI (or at least speak the GLX protocol). Unfortunately
the xlibs people haven't modularised that part of XFree86 yet.
Also, the flag `+set s_initsound 0' has to be passed to Quake to
disable sound, otherwise it segfaults on startup. It doesn't do
this with the normal glibc, which is strange. Maybe it tries to
dynamically load some sound library or something.

* Zapping/VLC/MPlayer: use libXv.
* MPlayer: upgrade to 1.0pre4.
* Zapping: add libXext to the rpath. I don't understand why this is
necessary. Zapping doesn't itself link against libXext, though some
of its dependencies do. (Maybe this is due to `--export-dynamic'?)

the tree being fetched from a Subversion repository. The revision
number is now optional (and defaults to HEAD).
This makes `fetchsvn' more pure. First, a URL/revision tuple does
not uniquely identify a file resource, since the repository itself
might change. Second, `svn:external' attributes can cause arbitrary
resources to be exported.
A script `nix-prefetch-svn' has been provided to determine the hash
of a URL.
