gvfs-network fails to start until it stores some setting in Gconf (memory
backend is used by default). Unfortunately, it needs schemas for to work
correctly. By default, glib searches for schemas in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
OR under GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR. This patch sets this variable to let gvfs
find it's precious.
That is, there are now distinct jobs like ‘coreutils.x86_64-linux’ and
‘coreutils.x86_64-darwin’, rather than a single job ‘coreutils’ with
multiple builds. This means that testing a job is simpler:
$ nix-build pkgs/top-level/release.nix -A coreutils.x86_64-linux
See https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/60 for the motivation.
libxslt has optional dependencies which may be found in /usr or
/usr/local on platforms that have a native stdenv. With those features
enabled, the build generated binaries that depend on libraries outside
of the store. In this particular case, the NixOS channel had binaries
for FreeBSD that depended on libgcrypt, apparently because that packages
happens to be installed outside of Nix on the build machine. On other
machines, however, those binaries failed with unresolvable references.

they need an older version of test-framework
using jailbreak didn't work in this case so for now, disabling tests
is the easiest solution until upstream upgrades its test-framework
