Users who want a user-specific bin directory to override system paths should
configure that in their user-specific ~/.bashrc, not in the system-wide init
file. The global file shouldn't add directories from user homes to $PATH
without knowing whether those actually exist or whether the users even want
them in $PATH. On my system, for example, there is no ~/bin, so I don't want my
$PATH to look for one. Removing an erroneous entry from $PATH is cumbersome,
but adding one is easy, so it feels better to err on the side of caution.

pierron recommended the use of types.string over mergeOptionString, as
it is superior but might break things.
For my system the change evaluated to the exactly same.

For example, I use the following settings to configure T-Mobile Internet
access on my laptop, which is connected to the cell phone by USB:
| environment.wvdial.dialerDefaults = ''

| Modem Type = USB Modem
| Phone = *99#
| ISDN = 0
| Username = tm
| Password = tm
| Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
| Baud = 460800
| '';

* Moved bash-specific code from /etc/profile to /etc/bashrc.
* Moved general Bourne shell code from /etc/bashrc to /etc/profile.
* Added "include guards" to both files to ensure that they aren't sourced
multiple times (which would result in lots of redundancy in $PATH, etc.).
* Both files include each other to make sure that the correct system
environment is always defined.
* When the current user has installed the 'bash-completion' package in her
$HOME/.nix-profile, programmable completion is automatically enabled in
interactive shells.
* The /etc/skel/.bashrc we installed has been dropped because it is redundant.

resource limits are not applied to (say) users logged in via SSH or

* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
never makes sense not to have it there. It no longer needs to be
declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).

`su'.
* The `usermod' from `shadow' allows setting a supplementary group
equal to the user's primary group, so the special hack for the
`nixbld' group is no longer needed.
* Removed /etc/default/passwd since it's not used by the new passwd.
The hash is configured in pam_unix.
* Move some values for `security.setuidPrograms' and
`security.pam.services' to the appropriate modules.

problems:
- It doesn't support filenames with spaces.
- It inserts a space after the filename when tab-completing in an
"svn" command.
- Many people find it annoying that tab-completion on commands like
"tar" only matches filenames with the "right" extension.
- Lluís reported bash apparently crashing on some tab completions.
We should probably make this optional, and maybe use a subset of the
bash_completion file in the bash distribution that works.
