(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
Pyuv is a Python interface to libuv, a cross-platform asychronous I/O
library.
The setup.py is tweaked to that the system version of libuv is used,
instead of tying to fetch one with git.

I had to update all the pyside programs, or freecad failed to build. I picked
the versions advertised in http://qt-project.org/wiki/PySideDownloads . The
rest I took for github latest releases.
Not really critical for anything we have in <nixpkgs> I guess, but
skipping lines three times really was a workaround and we're better off
just appending the lines ending with backslash to the pattern space so
we can accumulate all the crap until the last line of crap (crap, that
is "broken lines").

The bazaar package is still broken even with 5f01cc7, because __future__
imports need to be the first imports before anything else. So this time
I'm going to make the sed expression with explicit branching so we can
properly match all the occasions we want to skip and insert the line
modifying sys.argv[0] only _once_ and leave the command block after
that one substitution. So no ugly swaps between hold and pattern space.
The label which is resonsible for not escaping the command block is "r"
and we jump to it as long as we need to skip something from the start of
the file.
While at it, I'm not only skipping every line with __future__ in it but
also backslashes at the end of the line, so for example:
```python
from __future__ import shiny_feature1, \
shiny_feature2, \
shiny_feature3
```
... will now be properly skipped as well.
Tested against bazaar and nixops.
Thanks to @edolstra for reporting this.

Fixes issues introduced by 24ef871e6a1c858af3f9984a5b526c83b24520ed.
The problem here is that "import sys; sys.argv[0] = ..." is just
appended after the first "#!", which in turn breaks things such as
encoding specifications. A second problem - although not very common -
is when there's another #! within the script.
This should take care of both cases.

From the project page [1]:

It offers read/write access to hdf5 archives through a hierarchical interface.
I am adding it, because pandas depends on tables for hdf5 read/write
functionality.
Note: The name is a bit of an issue. The project is called pytables, whereas
the python module is simply called tables. I chose to name the nix-expression
tables for consistency with the source-tarball and the module name.

Note: simply calling `virtualenv .` will not produce a ./bin/python
which can import e.g. sqlite3, using `virtualenv --python=python2.7`
will, if python2.7 is python27Full (the wrapped python). I'm not sure
if this is a bug or a feature.
