Git's Makefile has a NO_INSTALL_HARDLINKS flag to produce symlinks
instead of hard links. However, it still produces hard links between
$out/bin and $out/libexec, hence the patch.
Also, update Git to 1.8.2.1.
This reverts commit ab98d72fad2c657836d36fe0ac2f7dac54f1b778, which
caused the size of the Git package in the store to increase from 18
MiB to 190 MiB.
for `nix-env -i` the later defined python27Packages seems to win.
Another solution might be to have python26 oder python27 either in the
name or the version. Let's have a look at haskelPackages for that.
gets rid of the dependency on the old gnupg1. and enables decryption
even if the gpg binary is not in the users environment.
warning: i don't know whether the switch from gnupg1 to gnupg
introduces any incompatibilities. this is a works for me patch.
Most of the stuff was duplicated (headers, the core library).
The new solution makes the _qt4 package use the _glib one,
because it depended on glib through cairo anyway
(and _glib bindings themselves are just ~350kB).
This also fixes a problem that mergeAttrsByFuncDefaultsClean
didn't merge patches, which affected dbus.libs.
The freaky implementation was done that way in order to avoid unnecessary
re-builds of all Haskell packages by changing the wrapper script used
internally in those builds.

It works enough to display bootsplash animations in an xorg session and a VT.
I haven't figured out how to run it successfully from the initrd yet and I'm also not happy with the postInstall mess, but I'd rather merge it now than let it get lost. It seems like it should be possible for a user to activate it by using boot.initrd.extraUtilsCommands and boot.initrd.postMountCommands
