I removed the emacsSnapshot package in favour of emacs24, which is set
to lowPrio: emacs23 has higher priority.

To install it:

nix-env -iA nixpkgs_sys.emacs24

and packages for it:

nix-env -iA nixpkgs_sys.emacs24Packages.org

I'm using it as of now. The frequency of pretest releases seems not to
justify thinking about an update policy.

@Phil: I based it on emacs23 and had no issues. I assume the
--with-crt-dir option does the trick.

I added support for libxml, imagemagick and gnutls. We have an
imagemagickBig in nixpkgs with support for tetex and librsvg - should we
use that instead? I have no opinion/clue.

I enabled librsvg for emacs24 on all platforms except darwin, because it
sounded cool. Is it still broken on darwin?

Gconf is generally disabled as for emacs23. Do we want gconf support?
