...
This patch changes the documentation about simple packages. cpio was
listed as simplest possible package, which is not true anymore, gnu
hello is much simpler.

Add a setup hook that automatically sets up $CLASSPATH
...
All JARs in $pkg/share/java (for each $pkg in the build inputs) are
added to $CLASSPATH. Thus, you can say
buildInputs = [ setJavaClassPath someJavaDependency ];
and the JARs in someJavaDependency will be found automatically by
tools like javac or ant.
Note that the manual used to say that JARs should be installed in
lib/java; this is now share/java, following the Debian policy:
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/x110.html
The directory share/java makes more sense because JARs are
architecture-independent. (Also, a quick grep shows that we were not
exactly consistent about this in Nixpkgs.)

Only show/build a package on the platforms listed in meta.platforms
...
The function ‘mkDerivation’ now checks whether the current platform
type is included in a package's meta.platform field. If not, it
throws an exception:
$ nix-build -A linux --argstr system x86_64-darwin
error: user-thrown exception: the package ‘linux-3.10.15’ is not supported on ‘x86_64-darwin’
These packages also no longer show up in ‘nix-env -qa’ output. This
means, for instance, that the number of packages shown on
x86_64-freebsd has dropped from 9268 to 4764.
Since meta.platforms was also used to prevent Hydra from building some
packages, there now is a new attribute meta.hydraPlatforms listing the
platforms on which Hydra should build the package (which defaults to
meta.platforms).
