Nicolas Pierron a07e90d6f3 Update the documentation:
* Change the module syntax of the example to follow Eelco's suggestions.

* Add a section "Building your own NixOS CD", which explain how to replace
configuration.nix by the configuration file of a live CD/DVD.

* Fix "Testing the installer" and "Testing the initrd" to fit the location
of derivations.

Eelco Dolstra f1035de47c * For the generation of manual / manpages, don't evaluate the option
declarations again (because we already have them).  This cuts
  evaluation time from 7.2s to 4.9s.

Eelco Dolstra da996583ee * Include the NixOS manpages in the system environment. Actually
there is only one currently: configuration.nix(5), which contains a
  list of all the options.

Nicolas Pierron 892d12bccf - Move some system configuration to options:
* system.nssModules
  * system.modulesTree
  * system.sbin.modprobe
  * system.sbin.mount
  * nix.envVars

- Remove Arguments that can be accessed either by "config" or "pkgs".

- Use the new scheme for upstart-jobs/default.nix.
This is now a configuration file which is imported by system/options.nix.

- Jobs can now include upstart-job/default.nix:
  * upstrat-jobs/cron.nix
  * upstart-jobs/dhclient.nix

=> No Nixos file refers to upstart-jobs/default.nix except if one of its options is require to define an extra job. (e.g.: cron, dhclient)
