- 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)

This makes the initrd a few megabytes smaller.
* Use run-init from klibc to delete everything in the initrd ramfs
prior to switching to the real root FS.
* Removed the stage2Init argument.

file systems. The main advantage is that this allows mounting of
such file systems from the `filesystems' configuration option at
boot time, e.g.
fileSystems = [
...
{ mountPoint = "/windows";
device = "/dev/disk/by-uuid/9EA4B22EA4B208B3";
fsType = "ntfs-3g";
}
];
The list of file system helpers should of course be made
configurable.

automatic copying of build results from remote Nix stores work
more-or-less automatically. All you have to do is mount the remote
FS on a subdirectory of /var/run/nix/remote-stores, e.g.
$ sshfs remote_machine:/ /var/run/nix/remote-stores/foo
* Set $NIXPKGS_ALL.

description) to allow all kernel-related packages to be overriden
easily. For instance, you can now say in configuration.nix
boot = {
kernelPackages = pkgs: pkgs.kernelPackages_2_6_25;
};
to use Linux 2.6.25.x. Externel kernel module packages (like
the NVIDIA drivers) appropriate for this kernel will then be used
automatically.

add `/var/run/current-system/sw/lib' to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH'. This should allow
NSS modules to be added and taken into account by applications without
the need to reboot.

Currently, the solution is a bit hackish since running applications
will not work after a `nixos-rebuild' because `libnss_mdns' is not
in their `LD_LIBRARY_PATH'.
svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=11162
This is really a hack since programs not known to `system.nix' will not be in the path
of `activate-configuration', which consequently creates empty `.real' files under
`/var/setuid-wrappers'. I don't know what the best way to address this is: let admins
write `.real' files by hand? Add a `setuidPackages' attribute, listing the names of
packages that contain the binaries listed in `setuidPrograms'?
