/*
Usage:

  You define you custom builder script by adding all build steps to a list.
  for example:
       builder = writeScript "fsg-4.4-builder"
               (textClosure [doUnpack addInputs preBuild doMake installPhase doForceShare]);

  a step is defined by noDepEntry, fullDepEntry or packEntry.
  To ensure that prerequisite are met those are added before the task itself by
  textClosureDupList. Duplicated items are removed again.

  See trace/nixpkgs/trunk/pkgs/top-level/builder-defs.nix for some predefined build steps

  Attention:

  let
    pkgs = (import <nixpkgs>) {};
  in let
    inherit (pkgs.stringsWithDeps) fullDepEntry packEntry noDepEntry textClosureMap;
    inherit (pkgs.lib) id;

    nameA = noDepEntry "Text a";
    nameB = fullDepEntry "Text b" ["nameA"];
    nameC = fullDepEntry "Text c" ["nameA"];

    stages = {
      nameHeader = noDepEntry "#! /bin/sh \n";
      inherit nameA nameB nameC;
    };
  in
    textClosureMap id stages
    [ "nameHeader" "nameA" "nameB" "nameC"
      nameC # <- added twice. add a dep entry if you know that it will be added once only [1]
      "nameB" # <- this will not be added again because the attr name (reference) is used
    ]

  # result: Str("#! /bin/sh \n\nText a\nText b\nText c\nText c",[])

  [1] maybe this behaviour should be removed to keep things simple (?)
