Redland's use of the pre-processor symbol SQLITE_API collides with a
symbol of the same name in sqlite 3.6.19. Patching the source code to
use REDLAND_SQLITE_API instead works around the problem.

Sqlite has a build mode called "amalgamation" that gathers all 90+ source code
files into a single sqlite3.c file before compiling the library. Building
sqlite this way reportedly gives a 5-10% performance gain because the compiler
can perform more sophisticated optimizations.

The new version requires Tcl at build time in order to construct sqlite3.h,
even when the --without-tcl option is passed to configure. That feels odd
because the sqlite web site does advertise "no dependencies", but then it's
probably not a big deal either. The build of the Tcl plugin for sqlite is still
disabled, so there is no run-time dependency.

propagatedBuildInputs, because those inputs are required by the *.pc
or *.la files of the package:
- If a *.pc file references a non-propagated input, then Gnome
packages have the bad tendency to silently ignore this problem in
configure scripts - the failure of a command like `pkg-config
--cflags foo' will be ignored if a dependency of foo.pc is
missing, so no flags will be added, and the build will fail later
on a missing header or library.
- If a *.la file references a non-propagated input, the build will
also fail, because Libtool will add library dependencies that it
cannot find. (Arguably *.la files should never reference packages
that aren't in the corresponding *.pc file, but they do it
anyway).
By setting the propagatedBuildInputs properly, it should be possible
to get rid of all the NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE / NIX_LDFLAGS hacks in the
Gnome expressions.

I tried to keep the openssh hash not changing, unless the user sets hpn in getConfig
style. I think that does not look as good as a patch changing the hash, but it may
annoy less. Let me know if it is not ok.
I don't think hpn should be the default, because it may have some insecurity implications
I don't know of. But I used to enable it in all my machines, and I hope to do so unless
advised otherwise.

I tried their website renderer, but it did not work for me. It may be shut down,
because their last update is for 2006.
Next steps: put it into nixos, and build the renderer (java!).
