problem:
Nix only recognizes nixbld users which have nixbld set in extraGroups.
After installation the user was created by activate with group='nixbld'
and extraGroups=[]
After rebooting a conditional shell script fixed this by adding
extraGroups=["nixbld"].
This patches creates the user they way it was in the past with
group='nobody' and extraGroups=["nixbld"].
Another solution would be making nix be aware of the primary group as
well. However this would require everyone to update Nix after updating
NixOS.

grub. Its options are no more inside 'boot', but inside 'boot.loader.grub'.
I added a new bootloader configuration for nixos, generationsDir. It creates
/boot/default/{init,initrd,kernel,system} symlinks, and the same for the generations
in /boot/system-$gen/{init,initrd,kernel,system}.
I can program the u-boot loader to load /boot/default files always, and have
a minimal nixos boot loader installer functionality. Additionally, I can refer
to the other system generations easily, with a simple 'ls' in /boot.

that works though).
