maybe this should include the path to the Nix store and a sanity check
should be added to make sure that if we check the file in $STATEDIR that
it is indeed from an instance of the service that we want to start. This
adds complexity, because how should we deal with the situation of they are
not equal.
TODO: add a "status" command, or a "version" command, which displays which
service is currently registered with the system as "running"

to be all the information that is non-site specific. The reason I want this
in a Nix expression is that it is easier to deploy in NixOS this way. It also
gives me a bit of a feel of what information is safe to keep inside the store
and what information isn't :)

* you want to be able to deploy this sort of configuration. Various packages
will not be able to work correctly without this. The GNU C library has a
dependency on this, but we ignore it. glibc will happily build if this file
is missing, but resolving will sometimes fail if this file is not present
(syslog is one example)
* this information is fairly static and changed about once or twice a year.
It is maintained by IANA and cannot really be considered site-specific
configuration.
The package is not made a dependency for glibc, as a change here would
trigger a full recompilation, even though technically speaking it is a
runtime dependency using a fixed format (as dictated by IANA).

embedded systems and installation CDs. Hopefully this will decrease the size
of things we use on the NixOS installation CD. Only tested in a cross-compile
for MIPS so far.

Even though you could just inherit binutils it is conceptually cleaner (I
think) to make these tools available here.

* add gcc-40mipsboot
* rewrite gcc-40mips so it wraps around both gcc-40mipsboot *and* uClibc
* compile uClibc with gcc-40mipsboot

-created separate nix expressions for ocaml-3.08.0 and ocaml 3.09.1
-ocam-3.09.1 is standard/default ocaml version (included by ocaml/default.nix)
-created ocaml3080 in all-packages-generic.nix
-qcmm now uses ocaml3080 instead of ocaml

itself "Firefox" instead of "Deer Park"). This should not be turned
on for the channel!

As a result xulrunner couldn't find the extensions directory and
