(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.
The only file that actually referred to the Python interpreter was
share/boost-build/example/customization/inline_file.py. So get rid of
the whole example directory.
Install names need to be absolute paths, otherwise programs that link
against the dylib won't work without setting $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Most
packages do this correctly, but some (like Boost and ICU) do not.
This setup hook absolutizes all install names.
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).
One would assume that the boost maintainers would have been able to apply this
two line change within the last 10 months or so, but apparently not.

Either eigen changed the hash of the tarball, or I did not commit its latest hash.
I add boost 1.46 apart, because 1.44 does not work easily for freecad.

They removed the usual tagged library names in 1.40 under the layout
"system", but they introduced a new layout "tagged". The "tagged" layout
is needed when we want more than one 'style' of the libraries at once(debug,release, ...

* Dropped classr.patch; it no longer applies to this version.
* The "configure" script has been renamed to "bootstrap.sh".
* The bootstrapping process generates no Makefile anymore; the build
expression has to call bjam directly to build the libraries.
* Perform build and install phase in one execution of bjam. This is a
lot faster, because bjam won't check the dependencies twice.

required all that space because it was building static/shared,
single-thread/multi-threaded, and debug/production versions of the
libraries - as well as every combination of those. Now we build
only the shared, multi-threaded, production version, which needs
only 8 MB. The headers account for the other 50 MB, so it might be
worthwhile to split them off into a separate package (in order to
reduce the runtime closure of applications that use Boost, such as
KDE).
* Removed some Boost versions that aren't used anymore.

Also added support for expat library (used by the graph library). This package
should probably be built on the compile farm because it takes quite a while to
complete, even on a fast machine. Having pre-built binaries would be very nice.

This patch moves curly braces to the end of the line, i.e.
foo = {
...
};
instead of the previously used style:
foo =
{
...
};
I commit this change hoping that my contributions to this project now conform
to the rules described in maintainers/docs/coding-conventions.txt so that the
self-appointed indention sheriff of the NixOS community can finally get off my
back and rest assured knowing that all i's are dotted and all t's are crossed.
