eagle: new package
Eagle is a schematic capture and PCB layout program from CadSoft. This
is proprietary software; CadSoft provide a self-extracting shell script
with embedded tarball of the prebuilt application.

Add the latest Eagle version, 6.4.0.

I've added a small LD_PRELOAD library that redirects operations on the
license file from <eagle_install_path>/bin/eagle.key to
$HOME/.eagle.key. Without this Eagle will never get past the license
dialog (because you cannot write to the nix store).

Eagle also has issues copying its example projects to other locations;
it seems that it wants to preserve the read-only permissions from the
source over to the destination. Because of this it cannot complete the
copy operation because it cannot write the project files into to the
(read-only) project directory it just created. So wrap chmod by OR'ing
in the write-by-owner bit.

+/*
+ * LD_PRELOAD trick to make Eagle (schematic editor and PCB layout tool from
+ * CadSoft) work from a read-only installation directory.
+ *
+ * When Eagle starts, it looks for the license file in <eagle>/bin/eagle.key
+ * (where <eagle> is the install path). If eagle.key is not found, Eagle checks
+ * for write access to <eagle>/bin/, shows a license dialog to the user and
+ * then attempts to write a license file to <eagle>/bin/.
+ *
+ * This will of course fail when Eagle is installed in the read-only Nix store.
+ * Hence this library that redirects accesses to the those paths in the
+ * following way:
+ *
+ *   <eagle>/bin              => $HOME
+ *   <eagle>/bin/eagle.key    => $HOME/.eagle.key
+ *
+ * Also, if copying an example project to ~/eagle/ (in the Eagle GUI), Eagle
+ * chmod's the destination with read-only permission bits (presumably because
+ * the source is read-only) and fails to complete the copy operation.
+ * Therefore, the mode argument in calls to chmod() is OR'ed with the S_IWUSR
+ * bit (write by owner).
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   gcc -shared -fPIC -DEAGLE_PATH="$out/eagle-${version}" eagle_fixer.c -o eagle_fixer.so -ldl
+ *   LD_PRELOAD=$PWD/eagle_fixer.so ./result/bin/eagle
+ *
+ * To see the paths that are modified at runtime, set the environment variable
+ * EAGLE_FIXER_DEBUG to 1.
