Some packages have a runtime dependency on libltdl, but shouldn't
depend on the rest of libtool (which in turn depends on binutils and
other stdenv tools). For example, splitting off libltdl cuts about 35
MiB from the closure of PulseAudio.
Before, the entire directory was deleted and recreated, which fails if we want
to sign libraries (shlibsign is obviously deleted in that step as well), so we
delete everything but "nss-config" on postFixup.
This adds a patch from Debian, as they're already have security modules from NSS
in it's own library directory rather than /usr/lib{,64}/ and patch in loading of
libsoftokn as well.
The patch and our own fix of the patch (well, they hardcode Debian specific
stuff in there) ensures that SECMOD_AddNewModule() will find the right module
from the derivation's output path, so the built-in CA root certificates are
recognized and verified correctly.
Running NSS in FIPS mode is only possible if the libraries are signed correctly,
so we're doing this in the postFixup hook, to insure nothing gets altered after
that phase.

First of all, let's remove that redundant BUILD_OPT variable.
This variable already is in makeFlags, so we really don't want it to be lurking
around in the attribute set of the derivation, and it annoys me for being there
for days.
We now state build targets explicitly rather than relying on "nss_build_all".
This makes NSPR_CONFIG_STATUS and the touch of build_nspr stamp obsolete, as
only nss_build_all includes build_nspr.
In addition, we don't need the -lz hack anymore, as this has been fixed in
recent NSS versions, so we can completly remove the postBuild hook.
And while we're at it, we're removing those outdated build instructions as well,
especially because we don't and can't follow official building guidelines
anymore, as those are difficult to apply to Nix.
This is a compatibility module which adds suport for PEM certificates used by
OpenSSL and compatible libraries. The module gets built but isn't used at the
moment, so we're going to work on integration of it later.
Let's use system SQLite library, which makes sense anyway. More importantly
because it conflicts with the sqlite package, as NSS is building this as a
shared library aswell.
So to begin with fixing NSS let's get to the latest upstream release and start
fixing, so we won't carry around historic crap we then will throw away anyway.
