useful for testing the building of specific parts of
a service, e.g. you can do
$ nix-build /etc/nixos/nixos/ -A upstartJobs.udev.passthru.udevRules
to build the udev rules directory of the udev service.

Did this for Nagios. Soon we can rename upstart-jobs to
services/plugins/whatever (i.e. an Upstart job will just be
one kind of configuration item that a plugin can declare).

for building parts of the system. E.g.
$ nix-build /etc/nixos/nixos -A upstartJobs.xserver
to build the Upstart job for the X server, or
$ nix-build /etc/nixos/nixos -A kernel
to build the NixOS kernel.
* /etc/profile.sh: if ~/.nix-defexpr doesn't exist yet, create it as a
directory and add links to root's channels, /etc/nixos/nixos and
/etc/nixos/install-source.nix (as "nixpkgs_sys").
* boot.useKernel -> boot.kernel.

list of user accounts that the job needs to run. For instance, the
SSH daemon job says:
{ name = "sshd";
uid = (import ../system/ids.nix).uids.sshd;
description = "SSH privilege separation user";
home = "/var/empty";
}
The activation script creates the system users/groups and updates
them as well. So a change in the Nix expression can be realised in
/etc/{group,passwd} by running nixos-rebuild.

- Set the desktop background to the image ~/.background-image.
- Depending on services.xserver.sessionType, start an xterm or a
gnome-terminal as the "desktop" :-)
* Upstart jobs can now declare extra packages to be added to the
system path through the `extraPath' attribute. For instance, the
ALSA job adds alsa-utils, and the X server job adds lots of stuff
depending on the X configuration (e.g., xrandr, gnome-terminal,
twm).
* Create a cdrom/dvd symlink for SCSI sr? devices.
