The new configuration.nix option 'environment.enableBashCompletion'
determines whether bash completion is automatically enabled system-wide
for all interactive shells or not. The default setting is 'off'.
Note that for attribute-based nix-env installations, the NixOS
channel contains Nixpkgs as its "pkgs" attribute, so
$ nix-env -iA nixos.pkgs.foo
will work instead of the old
$ nix-env -iA nixpkgs_sys.foo
* Fix the path to root's channels installed in ~/.nix-defexpr.

* Add a slash to the end of $MODULE_DIR, as expected by depmod. (Not
that running depmod from the command line is all that useful, since
you can't use it to update the tree in the Nix store. But at least
commands like "depmod -n" work now.) Reported by Kirill Elagin on
IRC.

running programs to fail (e.g. Hydra jobs =>

Users who want a user-specific bin directory to override system paths should
configure that in their user-specific ~/.bashrc, not in the system-wide init
file. The global file shouldn't add directories from user homes to $PATH
without knowing whether those actually exist or whether the users even want
them in $PATH. On my system, for example, there is no ~/bin, so I don't want my
$PATH to look for one. Removing an erroneous entry from $PATH is cumbersome,
but adding one is easy, so it feels better to err on the side of caution.

pierron recommended the use of types.string over mergeOptionString, as
it is superior but might break things.
For my system the change evaluated to the exactly same.

* Moved bash-specific code from /etc/profile to /etc/bashrc.
* Moved general Bourne shell code from /etc/bashrc to /etc/profile.
* Added "include guards" to both files to ensure that they aren't sourced
multiple times (which would result in lots of redundancy in $PATH, etc.).
* Both files include each other to make sure that the correct system
environment is always defined.
* When the current user has installed the 'bash-completion' package in her
$HOME/.nix-profile, programmable completion is automatically enabled in
interactive shells.
* The /etc/skel/.bashrc we installed has been dropped because it is redundant.

* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
never makes sense not to have it there. It no longer needs to be
declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).

because the bashrc already cares on that, even taking into account all the usual
nixos profiles.
As a side change, I changed a tab to spaces in bashrc.

problems:
- It doesn't support filenames with spaces.
- It inserts a space after the filename when tab-completing in an
"svn" command.
- Many people find it annoying that tab-completion on commands like
"tar" only matches filenames with the "right" extension.
- Lluís reported bash apparently crashing on some tab completions.
We should probably make this optional, and maybe use a subset of the
bash_completion file in the bash distribution that works.
