  /* `overrideDerivation drv f' takes a derivation (i.e., the result
     of a call to the builtin function `derivation') and returns a new
     derivation in which the attributes of the original are overridden
     according to the function `f'.  The function `f' is called with
     the original derivation attributes.

     `overrideDerivation' allows certain "ad-hoc" customisation
     scenarios (e.g. in ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix).  For instance,
     if you want to "patch" the derivation returned by a package
     function in Nixpkgs to build another version than what the
     function itself provides, you can do something like this:

       mySed = overrideDerivation pkgs.gnused (oldAttrs: {
         name = "sed-4.2.2-pre";
         src = fetchurl {
           url = ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.2.2-pre.tar.bz2;
           sha256 = "11nq06d131y4wmf3drm0yk502d2xc6n5qy82cg88rb9nqd2lj41k";
         };
         patches = [];
       });

     For another application, see build-support/vm, where this
     function is used to build arbitrary derivations inside a QEMU
     virtual machine.
