* Let ConsoleKit track the current logins instead of pam_console.
Udev now takes care of setting the device permissions to the active
user. This works much better, since pam_console wouldn't apply
permissions to new (hot-plugged) devices. Also, the udev+ConsoleKit
approach supports user switching. (We don't have that for X yet,
but it already works for logins on virtual consoles: if you switch
between different users on differents VCs with Alt+Fn, the device
ownership will be changed automatically.)

the bus daemon can start on demand). ConsoleKit and PolicyKit need
this. This requires a setuid wrapper for dbus-daemon-launch-helper,
as well as a "messagebus" group.

mkOption argument, because then we lose them if somebody sets
security.setuidPrograms somewhere else. (Shouldn't "default" be
merged as well?)

programs require that the mode is 4550 so that execution of the
setuid program can be restricted to members of a group.
* setuid-wrappers: remove a race condition in the creation of the
wrappers if the ownership or mode was different than root:root and
4555.
* setuid-wrappers: allow the full path of the wrapped program to be
specified, rather than looking it up in $PATH.

option security.pam.services containing the list of PAM services.
For instance, the SLiM module simply declares:
security.pam.services = [ { name = "slim"; localLogin = true; } ];

interface names, use udev's own firmware loader, and dropped the
sndMode option (udev puts all audio devices in the "audio" group, so
users can be added to that group if necessary).

util-linux-ng instead of e2fsprogs, blkid is in util-linux-ng, and
we need to manually create /dev/.udev prior to starting udevd for
some reason.

machine containing a replica (minus the state) of the system
configuration. This is mostly useful for testing configuration
changes prior to doing an actual "nixos-rebuild switch" (or even
"nixos-rebuild test"). The VM can be started as follows:
$ nixos-rebuild build-vm
$ ./result/bin/run-*-vm
which starts a KVM/QEMU instance. Additional QEMU options can be
passed through the QEMU_OPTS environment variable
(e.g. QEMU_OPTS="-redir tcp:8080::80" to forward a host port to the
guest). The fileSystem attribute of the regular system
configuration is ignored (using mkOverride), because obviously we
can't allow the VM to access the host's block devices. Instead, at
startup the VM creates an empty disk image in ./<hostname>.qcow2 to
store the VM's root filesystem.
Building a VM in this way is efficient because the VM shares its Nix
store with the host (through a CIFS mount). However, because the
Nix store of the host is mounted read-only in the guest, you cannot
run Nix build actions inside the VM. Therefore the VM can only be
reconfigured by re-running "nixos-rebuild build-vm" on the host and
restarting the VM.

* Simplified the udev rules generation: merged nixRules into
services.udev.extraRules, and handle services.udev.extraRules using
services.udev.packages.

With these modifications, a user can configure a tomcat instance with web applications and web services by writing a service, such as:
...
services = {
tomcat = {
enable = true;
webapps = [ mypkgs.HelloWorldWebApplication ];
axis2 = {
enable = true;
services = [ mypkgs.HelloService mypkgs.HelloWorldService ];
};
};
};
