In line with the Nixpkgs manual.
A mechanical change, done with this command:
find pkgs -name "*.nix" | \
while read f; do \
sed -e 's/description\s*=\s*"\([a-z]\)/description = "\u\1/' -i "$f"; \
done
I manually skipped some:
* Descriptions starting with an abbreviation, a user name or package name
* Frequently generated expressions (haskell-packages.nix)
After having established the connection to the distcc server, time out after 20
minutes of inactivity -- rather than 5 minutes, which is too quick to build
large C++ files with complex template machinery.

Using nix-pkgs.conf, it is possible to disable avahi, python, and all other
optional dependencies of distcc in order to generate binaries that are as small
and simple as possible. Furthermore, there is now an option for static linking.
