the advantage that KDE applications work when logging in via ssh,
and that you don't need to logout to have KDE upgrades take effect.
On the downside, since the various KDE packages and shared-mime-info
all have their own MIME databases, if we put them in one symlink
tree (systemPath), we need to rerun update-mime-database on the
symlink tree. Also, systemPath is getting very large.

include the closure of /bin/sh. Otherwise all builders that call
/bin/sh will fail when using the new chroot implementation, which
only bind-mounts the inputs of a build rather than the whole Nix
store.

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.

by default since this can really make the functioning of
applications unpredictable as they can pick up arbitrary
library versions from that directory. LD_LIBRARY_PATH should only
contain very specific paths (like /var/run/opengl-driver/lib for
overriding the system OpenGL implementation, or the NSS module
path). This is even more important given that the stdenv-updates
branch uses RUNPATHs instead of RPATHs, so *all* libraries are
overridable by LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

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'.

This variable is not honored by `aclocal' itself but by the wrapper that's
installed for `aclocal' by the `automake' package.

of `$EMACSLOADPATH' overrides Emacs's default `load-path', which
contains useful directories like `$EMACS/share/emacs/22.1/lisp',
etc.

thanks to unionfs. For instance, nix-env and nixos-rebuild work.
The tricky part was to build a Nix database (in the tmpfs/unionfs)
which is now necessary to prevent store paths on the CD from being
deleted right away because they otherwise wouldn't be valid.
* nixos-install: use the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix from the target
file system (don't copy it anymore). Since the user is supposed to
mount the target file system on /mnt anyway, we may as well require
that configuration.nix is placed in /mnt/etc/nixos. This also makes
upgrading / reinstalling much easier, since it will automatically
use the right configuration.nix.
