NixOS from scratch

My attempt to bootstrap a build environment in nix.

nix build -f busybox.nix busybox

All the busybox commands get exposed in a derivation called utils. You can build it:

nix build -f busybox.nix utils

The output of the derivation can be used as part of a PATH in a shell like it is done in shellDerivation.
