suggestion. It's good to use an older GHC for bootstrapping because
old versions can build newer versions but not vice versa.

the package).
* Removed the old ghc-wrapper, which hasn't been used for a long time.
* Renamed the "boot" GHC to "binary", which is more descriptive.
(They *can* be used for other things than bootstrapping a GHC
source build.)
* Updated the GHC 6.10.1 binary to 6.10.2.

rebuild all of GHC every time the setup hook changes. Thus its
better to factor it out. (After all, the setup hook doesn't have to
be provided by the GHC package proper; it can also be provided by
some helper package.)

applyAndFun has a bug resulting in the same arg beeing added more than
once when using a concatenating merge function for the attr set.
I've tried giving the function a name "overridableDelayableArgs" which
resembles its usage much more.
important refactoring:
applyAndFun had .fun and .funMerge only when passing the merge
function lib.mergeOrApply
composableDerivation {
initial = {
...
};
}
to
overridableDelayableArgs has always .replace and .merge
composableDerivation {} {
...
}

Some of these should be longDescriptions, but most others just
shouldn't contain newlines. E.g. write
description = "Bla";
and not
description = ''
Bla
'';
This pollutes "nix-env -qa --description" output.

mess. Also cleaned up some functions:
- foldl appeared broken (it recursively called fold).
- Renamed logicalAND/logicalOR to and/or.
- Removed listOfListsToAttrs, eqStrings: obsolete.
- Removed isInList, which does the same thing as elem.
- stringToCharacters: don't return a "" at the end of the list.
- Renamed concatList to concat, as concatList (singular) is a
misnomer: it takes two lists. Likewise, renamed mergeAttr to
mergeAttrs.
misc.nix still contains a lot of stuff that should be refactored and
moved to other files.

Several binaries (except for ghc itself, for which there was a
workaround) were broken before because they were stripped
during installation. Now, all binaries should work, in particular
ghc-pkg ...
