I really wanted it to substitute the html5 player, or at least the direct
player for mp4/webm files in firefox, but I couldn't make it work. The
formats recognized by the firefox internal player were used in all cases. The
plugin worked for formats unknown by firefox.

Nevertheless, as I wrote the nix recipe, I commit it. It may be of interest to
someone else.
- I don't think that amount of code belonged into all-packages.nix.
- Now the default name of the wrapped package is identical
with the command that runs the browser.
- Other defaults were changed according to how the wrapper is
(almost always) used.
- `meta` is improved: mostly inherited with priority above
the unwrapped package.
wkennington@f6c1004 switched Firefox to GStreamer 1.0 by changing its
buildInput *only*, but that is not enough. We need to fix Firefox
wrappers by changing their buildInputs and set GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH_1_0
instead of GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH.
With above changes playing H.264/MP4 media works in firefoxWrapper and
conkerorWrapper as tested with
http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html and

LD_LIBRARY_PATH elements, since they can use patchelf --rpath if
necessary.
* Flashplayer / JRE: do just that.
* JRE: libstdcpp5 no longer seems to be necessary for the plugin.

* Make sure that every package in all-packages.nix has a unique name.
Not all of them do, but there are now a few helper functions that
modify the name of a package for display purposes in nix-env (e.g.,
you get "zlib-1.2.3" and "zlib-1.2.3-static" in "nix-env -qa").

contains arbitrary information about a package, like this:
meta = {
homepage = "http://gcc.gnu.org/";
license = "GPL/LGPL";
description = "GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x";
};
The "meta" attribute is not passed to the actual derivation
operation, so it's not a dependency --- changes to "meta" attributes
don't trigger a recompilation.
Now we have to standardise some useful attributes ;-)
