  # merge attrs based on version key into mkDerivation args, see mergeAttrBy to learn about smart merge defaults
  #
  # This function is best explained by an example:
  #
  #     {version ? "2.x"} :
  #
  #     mkDerivation (mergeAttrsByVersion "package-name" version 
  #       { # version specific settings
  #         "git" = { src = ..; preConfigre = "autogen.sh"; buildInputs = [automake autoconf libtool];  };
  #         "2.x" = { src = ..; };
  #       }
  #       {  // shared settings
  #          buildInputs = [ common build inputs ];
  #          meta = { .. }
  #       }
  #     )
  #
  # Please note that e.g. Eelco Dolstra usually prefers having one file for
  # each version. On the other hand there are valuable additional design goals
  #  - readability
  #  - do it once only
  #  - try to avoid duplication
  #
  # Marc Weber and Michael Raskin sometimes prefer keeping older
  # versions around for testing and regression tests - as long as its cheap to
  # do so.
  #
  # Very often it just happens that the "shared" code is the bigger part.
  # Then using this function might be appropriate.
  #
  # Be aware that its easy to cause recompilations in all versions when using
  # this function - also if derivations get too complex splitting into multiple
  # files is the way to go.
