configuration.nix. Right now it finds out the following:
- How many CPUs the machine has (for nix.maxJobs).

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.

as regular files instead of symlinks to the store.
* Sudo configuration, enabled through security.sudo.enable (on by
default). The contents of the sudoers file is specified in
security.sudo.configFile. The default sudoers file allows members
of the new "wheel" group to run any command.

This is possible because nix-pull is now pretty fast.

* Installer: check that the mount point does in fact have a file
system mounted on it (so that we don't install in an empty /mnt),
and don't unmount afterwards for symmetry.
