I've finished pushing the changes needed to get the package set that I use to
build on Mavericks.  It looks like the new gcc destablized quite a few things,
so I'm sure there are other issues lurking.  Here's a summary:

 - gdb_pixbuf: one of the tests now crashes with a bus error, so I switched to
   using clang to build this derivation

 - python2.7-gyp: the no-xcode patch that was being used would no longer
   apply, so I removed it (but will this break the Hydra build machine?)

 - swig: the swig-ccache tests now fail, so I pass a configure flag to disable
   the building of swig-ccache

 - gccApple: needed several new patches to libstdcxx, which is more than a bit
   troublesome.

 - ncurses: needed a patch for a bug in clang, though I'm not sure why this
   crept in just now.

 - zlib: do not use the new static-libgcc flag, as it doesn't exist on darwin

If anyone discovers any other breakages, please let me know here on the list
or via GitHub issues.

Thanks,
  John
