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.

51a6b27cc7 gzip: Update to 1.5
This fixes the gets() problem in gzip.

Also disabled "make check" because it depends on Perl and more/less,
which is undesirable in the stdenv bootstrap.

4b27d28701 Porting changes from stdenv-updates into this branch.
This comes from:
svn diff  ^/nixpkgs/trunk/@18255 ^/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/ > diff
patch -p0 < diff
and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.

trunk@18255 comes from the last time I updated stdenv-updates from trunk.

0b7e256162 * Hook variables in the generic builder are now executed using eval.
This has a major advantage: you can write hooks directly in Nix
  expressions.  For instance, rather than write a builder like this:

    source $stdenv/setup

    postInstall=postInstall
    postInstall() {
        ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip
        ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat
    }

    genericBuild

  (the gzip builder), you can just add this attribute to the
  derivation:

    postInstall = "ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip; ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat";

  and so a separate build script becomes unnecessary.  This should
  allow us to get rid of most builders in Nixpkgs.

* Allow configure and make arguments to contain whitespace.
  Previously, you could say, for instance

    configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0"

  but not

    configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0 -g"

  since the `-g' would be interpreted as a separate argument to
  configure.  Now you can say

    configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g")

  or similarly

    configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g" "LDFLAGS=-L/foo -L/bar")

  which does the right thing.  Idem for makeFlags, installFlags,
  checkFlags and distFlags.

  Unfortunately you can't pass arrays to Bash through the environment,
  so you can't put the array above in a Nix expression, e.g.,

    configureFlagsArray = ["CFLAGS=-O0 -g"];

  since it would just be flattened to a since string.  However, you
  can use the inline hooks described above:

    preConfigure = "configureFlagsArray=(\"CFLAGS=-O0 -g\")";

12ae5363ea * Remove trivial builders.
* Make builders unexecutable by removing the hash-bang line and
  execute permission.
* Convert calls to `derivation' to `mkDerivation'.
* Remove `system' and `stdenv' attributes from calls to
  `mkDerivation'.  These transformations were all done automatically,
  so it is quite possible I broke stuff.
* Put the `mkDerivation' function in stdenv/generic.

5941f66f0e * The stdenv setup script now defines a generic builder that allows
builders for typical Autoconf-style to be much shorten, e.g.,

    . $stdenv/setup
    genericBuild

  The generic builder does lots of stuff automatically:

  - Unpacks source archives specified by $src or $srcs (it knows about
    gzip, bzip2, tar, zip, and unpacked source trees).
  - Determines the source tree.
  - Applies patches specified by $patches.
  - Fixes libtool not to search for libraries in /lib etc.
  - Runs `configure'.
  - Runs `make'.
  - Runs `make install'.
  - Strips debug information from static libraries.
  - Writes nested log information (in the format accepted by
    `log2xml').

  There are also lots of hooks and variables to customise the generic
  builder.  See `stdenv/generic/docs.txt'.

* Adapted the base packages (i.e., the ones used by stdenv) to use the
  generic builder.

* We now use `curl' instead of `wget' to download files in `fetchurl'.

* Neither `curl' nor `wget' are part of stdenv.  We shouldn't
  encourage people to download stuff in builders (impure!).

* Updated some packages.

* `buildinputs' is now `buildInputs' (but the old name also works).

* `findInputs' in the setup script now prevents inputs from being
  processed multiple times (which could happen, e.g., if an input was
  a propagated input of several other inputs; this caused the size
  variables like $PATH to blow up exponentially in the worst case).

* Patched GNU Make to write nested log information in the format
  accepted by `log2xml'.  Also, prior to writing the build command,
  Make now writes a line `building X' to indicate what is being
  built.  This is unfortunately often obscured by the gigantic tool
  invocations in many Makefiles.  The actual build commands are marked
  `unimportant' so that they don't clutter pages generated by
  `log2html'.
