with structuredAttrs lists will be bash arrays which cannot be exported
which will be a issue with some patches and some wrappers like cc-wrapper
this makes it clearer that NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE must be a string as lists
in env cause a eval failure
Many packages have some kind of flag indicating whether or not to build with
systemd support. Most of these default to `stdenv.isLinux`, but systemd does
not build on (and is marked `broken` for) `isStatic`. Only a few packages have
the needed `&& !isStatic` in the default value for their parameter.
This commit moves the logic for the default value of these flags into
`systemd.meta.{platforms,badPlatforms}` and evaluates those conditions using
`lib.meta.availableOn`.
This provides three benefits:
1. The default values are set correctly (i.e. including `&& isStatic`)
2. The default values are set consistently
3. The way is paved for any future non-Linux systemd platforms (FreeBSD is
reported to have experimental systemd support)
Since 03eaa48 added perl.withPackages, there is a canonical way to
create a perl interpreter from a list of libraries, for use in script
shebangs or generic build inputs. This method is declarative (what we
are doing is clear), produces short shebangs[1] and needs not to wrap
existing scripts.
Unfortunately there are a few exceptions that I've found:
1. Scripts that are calling perl with the -T switch. This makes perl
ignore PERL5LIB, which is what perl.withPackages is using to inform
the interpreter of the library paths.
2. Perl packages that depends on libraries in their own path. This
is not possible because perl.withPackages works at build time. The
workaround is to add `-I $out/${perl.libPrefix}` to the shebang.
In all other cases I propose to switch to perl.withPackages.

Negative reasoning like `allBut` is a bad idea with an open world of
platforms. Concretely, if we add a new, quite different sort of
platform, existing packages with `allBut` will claim they work on it
even though they probably won't.
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.

The upstream tarball has changed, so I checked why this has happened and
found a tarball with the old SHA256 hash here:
http://fossies.org/linux/misc/xscreensaver-5.33.tar.gz/
After checking the contents of this and the new upstream tarball I found
that the old tarball had only .so, .o and .o.d files which now are no
longer existent in the new tarball.
Seems that the upstream author has accidentally put object files in the
source tarball and has now corrected this mistake.
