some programs (such as module-init-tools) need it.
* Remove module-init-tools-static, it now builds out of the box with
dietlibc.

* Kernel: accept a list of kernel patches through the kernelPatches
argument. The names of the patches are added to the description
attribute (e.g., "The Linux kernel (with patches:
skas-2.6.18-v9-pre9)").
* Generic builder (forked in setup-new.sh): support patches that are
compressed using gzip or bzip2.

- Hack to make it work with the latest host kernel headers
(2.6.18.1).
- Don't call depmod impurily, rather use oldskool modutils.
- modutils: use the final version, and use GCC 3.4 to compile it
(4.1 doesn't work).

* The statically linked bootstrap tools are now automatically
reproducable, just do:
$ nix-build ./make-bootstrap-tools.nix
The resulting binaries in result/in-nixpkgs go to
stdenv/linux/bootstrap/<platform>/, and the tarballs in
result/on-server go to
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/tarballs/trunk/stdenv-linux/<platform>/<revision>/.
These are checked out on nix.cs.uu.nl under http://.../dist/tarballs.
* The statically linked libraries all use dietlibc now (except
patchelf and glibc), so they are much smaller. This is especially
nice for the tools in the Nixpkgs tree, since it makes Nixpkgs
tarballs smaller.
* Use Binutils 2.17 and GCC 4.1.1 for the bootstrap.
* The stdenv is now based on Glibc 2.5. I hope it works ;-)

dietlibc to produce small, statically linked binaries. This stdenv
also passes `-Os' to GCC automatically to optimise for size. It
also tries to prevent builders from linking against dynamic
libraries (which dietlibc doesn't support).
* A function `addAttrsToDerivation' that returns a modified stdenv
that always adds the specified attributes to the derivations that it
produces. Example (from curl):
curlDiet = import ../tools/networking/curl {
inherit fetchurl zlib;
stdenv = addAttrsToDerivation {
CFLAGS = "-DHAVE_INET_NTOA_R_2_ARGS=1";
} (useDietLibC stdenv);
};
(This is needed to get curl to build with dietlibc. Also note the
stacking of stdenv-modifying functions.)
* curl-diet: no longer necessary.

* Run `make oldconfig' before building.
* Split buildPhase into configure/build/installPhase.
* Strip the kernel modules for a huge space savings.
