(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.
I switch off the build of ocaml compilers to native code, and add
a 'passthru' that unison can use to see if it needs to call the native
or the bytecode compiler.
Make an include directory and symlinks ocaml's C header files into
that directory. By having an include directory it is automatically
propogated as to NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE for anyone who uses ocaml as a
build input.

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.

mess. Also cleaned up some functions:
- foldl appeared broken (it recursively called fold).
- Renamed logicalAND/logicalOR to and/or.
- Removed listOfListsToAttrs, eqStrings: obsolete.
- Removed isInList, which does the same thing as elem.
- stringToCharacters: don't return a "" at the end of the list.
- Renamed concatList to concat, as concatList (singular) is a
misnomer: it takes two lists. Likewise, renamed mergeAttr to
mergeAttrs.
misc.nix still contains a lot of stuff that should be refactored and
moved to other files.

merge cleanly right away (kde-4, kernel stuff) so it should be
merged later. But the stdenv stuff is all there.
