This includes a lot of fixes for cross-building to Windows and Mac OS X
and could possibly fix things even for non-cross-builds, like for
example OpenSSL on Windows.
The main reason for merging this in 14.04 already is that we already
have runInWindowsVM in master and it doesn't work until we actually
cross-build Cygwin's setup binary as the upstream version is a fast
moving target which gets _overwritten_ on every new release.

This variant uses the more Mac-friendly aqua driver, but it requires
that you separately install the AquaTerm package.
Note that AquaTerm is open source and could perhaps be later included
as a nix derivation. If that happens, it would be nice to remove the
gnuplot_aquaterm top-level attribute and just make it the default.
* Remove package name
* Start with upper case letter
* Remove trailing period
Also reword some descriptions and move some long descriptions to
longDescription.
I'm not touching generated packages.
There are many more packages to fix, this is just a start.
Rules:
* Don't repeat the package name (not always that easy...)
* Start with capital letter
* Don't end with full stop
* Don't start with "The ..." or "A ..."
I've also added descriptions to some packages and rewritten others.
Ditaa is a small command-line utility written in Java, that can convert
diagrams drawn using ascii art ('drawings' that contain characters that
resemble lines like | / - ), into proper bitmap graphics.

Since "src" is a fetchsvn directory, the source is copied with "cp
--no-preserve=timestamps" (see commit
6d928ab684327e0eeb1bf6cd889d57ca7127e8a7). So some source files might
get a slightly different timestamp. Here, if lib/standard.ppmdfont
gets a newer timestamp than the generated file lib/standardppmdfont.c,
Make will try to rebuild the latter. But that fails because the
ppmdcfont program doesn't exist (yet).
Probably stdenv should ensure that every file has the same timestamp.
