* New function makeFontsConf to generate a fontconfig configuration
file. Moved from NixOS.
* dot2pdf: use makeFontsConf to generate a fonts.conf containing just
the Ghostscript fonts (see NIXPKGS-29).
* dot2pdf: generate PDF directly, don't go through PS. Note that this
and using fontconfig changes the interpretation of "fontname"
attributes in dot graphs.

makes the `hardware-scan' job unnecessary. (In fact the new
approach appears to be more thorough; it loads some drivers that
were not previously loaded.)

rather than supplying our own (less maintenance...).
This takes care, among other things, of populating
/dev/disk, which is useful.

useful for testing the building of specific parts of
a service, e.g. you can do
$ nix-build /etc/nixos/nixos/ -A upstartJobs.udev.passthru.udevRules
to build the udev rules directory of the udev service.

i.e., only the specified jobs are rebuilt and restarted.
Example:
$ test/test-upstart-job.sh udev
will rebuild and restart just the udev service. This is useful
e.g. when making changes to the udev package, which would
normally entail rebuilding lots of other services as well
(e.g. the X service might depend on KDE, which depends on HAL,
which depends on udev...).
It's implemented by making a copy of the current /etc/event.d
in /tmp/event.d, then replacing only those jobs indicated on the
command line, symlinking /etc/event.d to /tmp/event.d, and
restarting init.

* An attribute `stdenv_32bit' that returns a stdenv capable of
building 32-bit binaries.
* grub: build on x86_64-linux.

* glibc_multi: a wrapper that combines the 32-bit and 64-bit Glibcs.
This is necessary so that 64-bit GCC can find gnu/stubs-32.h and the
32-bit Glibc libraries.
To build glibc_multi on x86_64-linux, you still need either the
i686-linux Glibc derivation from a channel, or to have configured
Nix with support for forwarding the build to a i686-linux machine.
In the future this may become unnecessary by providing a prebuilt
binary of 32-bit Glibc somewhere (like the binaries used in the
stdenvLinux bootstrap).
* With glibc_multi, it becomes possible to build gcc with multilib
support (i.e. it builds 32-bit and 64-bit versions of libgcc,
libstdc++, etc.).

additional glibc to be built for packages that explicitly depend on
glibc.

libstdc++ headers in the header search path, otherwise libstdc++'s
use of #include_next to include Glibc headers breaks.
