First, pass in `self' again so that overriding works properly (thanks
for pointing that out, @edolstra)
Second, instead of having linuxPackages*.kernel mean something different
inside the set and out, add a new attribute linuxPackages*.kernelDev,
which for the generic kernel is simply linuxPackages*.kernel but for the
manual-config kernel is the `dev' output (which has the build tree,
source tree, etc.)
The second change required trivial modifications in a bunch of
expressions, I verified that all of the linuxPackages* sets defined in
all-packages.nix have the same drv paths before and after the change.

I'm not entirely sure what the appropriate license attribute for this
package is. The license [1] says:
| 2.1.2 Linux/FreeBSD Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of
| Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux or
| FreeBSD operating systems, or other operating systems derived from
| the source code to these operating systems, may be copied and
| redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not
| modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files).
It sounds to me like this gives NixOS the right to re-distribute the
files (because we don't modify them). The 'proprietary' license sort-of
fits that. On the other hand, we seem to assume that proprietary
software cannot be redistributed, which doesn't apply here.

now has a flat directory structure (i.e. usr/lib, usr/share etc. are
gone), which makes installing everything in the right location
rather more tedious.

useful on x86_64-linux to support i686 binaries: there we need the
NVIDIA OpenGL libraries, but not the kernel module or the
nvidia-settings program (which just cause a lot of unnecessary and
large dependencies).

I added 'perl' as their buildInputs to get them built.
I don't know if it is something new from nvidia, but I imagine it may be
introduced in 2.6.31, for any module building.

find libXrandr when invoked as "nvidia-settings", but not when
invoked by absolute path
(e.g. "/var/run/current-system/sw/bin/nvidia-settings"). Adding it
to libGL's RUNPATH fixes this. Strangely, libGL doesn't even
contain a reference to libXrandr.
