Putting information in external JSON files is IMHO not an improvement
over the idiomatic style of Nix expressions. The use of JSON doesn't
add anything over Nix expressions (in fact it removes expressive
power). And scattering package info over lots of little files makes
packages less readable over having the info in one file.
From the upstream changelog:
* Tesseract development is now done with Git and hosted at github.com
(Previously we used Subversion as a VCS and code.google.com for
hosting).
So let's move over to the GitHub repository, where the organisation also
includes a full repository for tessdata, so we no longer need to fetch
it one-by-one.
The build also got significantly simpler, because we no longer need to
run autoconf, neither do we need to patch the configure script for
Leptonica headers.
This also has the advantage that we don't need to use the
enableLanguages attribute for the test runner anymore.

Tested against all NixOS tests with enabled OCR (chromium, emacs-daemon,
installer.luksroot and lightdm).

Bugfix release with the following fixes:
* Fix thumbnail creation for input files with dot
* Use native python to generate list of external commands
* Do not use commandline arguments in test mode
* Catch broken symlinks in the library and filter them
So everything but the last item is essentially what we had in
fixes.patch, hence we cane remove it.

Previously, the entire installation was copied to $out/opt/unigine/valley.
Using $out/lib instead of $out/opt would be more consistent with other Nix packages.
