The nixpkgs-unstable channel's programs.sqlite was used to identify
packages producing exactly one binary, and these automatically added
to their package definitions wherever possible.
The Sourceforge ZIP URLs aren't stable. They (sometimes?) disappear
and throw 404. Probably until someone requests the file to be
generated from the UI. This made the build of xflr5 fail. By using the
SVN checkout we should be on the safer side.
This updates to the latest version. Unfortunately the project stopped
publishing source tarballs in the way we used to consume them. We've
to retrieve a source snapshot from sourceforge's SVN service instead.
The alternative would be a subversion checkout which I don't think is
any better or worse.
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

Tool is still WIP but this is one of the first results.
I manually audited the results and removed some results that were not valid.
Note that some of these packages maybe should have more constrained platforms set
instead of broken set, but I think not being perfectly correct is better than
just keep trying to build all these things and never succeeding.
Some observations:
- Some darwin builds require XCode tools
- aarch64-linux builds sometimes suffer from using gcc9
- gcc9 is getting older and misses some new libraries/features
- Sometimes tools try to do system detection or expect some explicit settings for
platforms that are not x86_64-linux
0) ElmerGUI displays things in the Model tree on the
left screen side again
1) Enable the import of STEP- and other opencascade-
based formats
2) Patch the source to enable builds with gcc-11
3) Build the Qt5 version instead of the Qt4 version
