First, pass in `self' again so that overriding works properly (thanks
for pointing that out, @edolstra)
Second, instead of having linuxPackages*.kernel mean something different
inside the set and out, add a new attribute linuxPackages*.kernelDev,
which for the generic kernel is simply linuxPackages*.kernel but for the
manual-config kernel is the `dev' output (which has the build tree,
source tree, etc.)
The second change required trivial modifications in a bunch of
expressions, I verified that all of the linuxPackages* sets defined in
all-packages.nix have the same drv paths before and after the change.

I'm not entirely sure what the appropriate license attribute for this
package is. The license [1] says:
| 2.1.2 Linux/FreeBSD Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of
| Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux or
| FreeBSD operating systems, or other operating systems derived from
| the source code to these operating systems, may be copied and
| redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not
| modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files).
It sounds to me like this gives NixOS the right to re-distribute the
files (because we don't modify them). The 'proprietary' license sort-of
fits that. On the other hand, we seem to assume that proprietary
software cannot be redistributed, which doesn't apply here.

This branch adds libcap-ng and updates SELinux. It doesn't seem like
anyone is actually using SELinux from nixpkgs, but everything compiles
and looks right.

The updated version 5.9 couldn't mount any of my shares:
Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13
Apparently, this is a known problem in Windows Vista that needs to be
fixed on the server side. :-(
It turns out that mount.cifs is run in a shell environment that doesn't have
$PATH. To find that program, we must commit to some location. The path I used will
work fine on NixOS, but of course it won't work on other Linux distributions. I'm
not sure whether that's an important issue or not.
