This solves the problem of e.g. mutt not finding mail unless the user
sets MAIL=/var/spool/mail/$USER.
The default MAIL variable seems come from bash. Reasons for adding
symlink instead of changing MAIL default in bash:
- No need to rebuild world
- FHS recommends /var/mail over /var/spool/mail anyway[1]. Better fix
NixOS mail location than change MAIL in bash to something that doesn't
work on non-NixOS (however unlikely that users run nixpkgs bash on a
non-NixOS distro...).

- fetchNuGet can fetch binaries from nuget servers
- buildDotnetPackage can build .NET packages using mono/xbuild
- Places nuget & paket as they would clash with nix
- Patch project files because F# targets are expected to be found in
the mono directory (and we know that's not going to happen on nix)
- Find DLLs that were copied from buildInputs and replace by symlink
for sharing
- Export produced DLL via the pkg-config mechanism
- Create wrappers for produced EXEs
- Repackaged this new infrastructure: keepass, monodevelop
- Newly packaged: ExtCore, UnionArgParser, FSharp.Data, Paket, and a
bunch more..

This reverts commit 6cfea50ad14b3225226e64bd77925dc05a593689.
I think the reason for the revert was because of patch dependencies. We really
need this patch to fix heimdal build.
Or else:
$ nix-build -A heimdal

The old expression used a shell script to set some repetitive
makeFlags. The makeFlags settings were spread out over different parts
of the expression. This deters new contributors. The new expression is
clearer, at the cost of being slightly repetitive.
