is just too weird.

2892aed712 * lib/eval-config.nix: combined "configuration" and "extraModules"
into one argument "modules".
* release.nix: fixed the manual job.
* ISO generation: break an infinite recursion.  Don't know why this
  suddenly happens.  Probably because of the nixpkgs.config change,
  but I don't see why.  Maybe the option evaluation is too strict.

there is only one currently: configuration.nix(5), which contains a
  list of all the options.

97a4e1fcb3 * Rename the CD modules to something more sensible.
* Make sure that reconfiguration in the live CD works properly by
  including the proper configuration module in
  /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.  Ugly.

03760c0c03 * `installation-cd-big.nix' builds a NixOS installation CD containing
an X server and KDE 4.  Thanks to squashfs it's only 466 MiB large.
  `installation-cd-small.nix' builds the original, text-only
  installation CD.

1cea6b09ef * Compress the Nix store on the CD using squashfs. This reduces the
size of the i686-linux ISO image from 463 MiB to 147 MiB.  Hopefully
  it also speeds up installation due to reduced seek time and larger
  block sizes, but I haven't tested that yet (on real hardware).

135240e05f * Sigh. The nix-env call has to come after nix-store --load-db.
Should really allow an ordering between postBootCommands.

nixos-rebuild work.  This makes it a true live CD.

1f8602afd2 * Get rid of the old CD/DVD expressions. live-dvd.nix is basically
rescue-dvd.nix (not tested though), i.e. it has all its extra
  packages and includes the build-time dependencies.

e4e408293e * Modularise the building of the installation CD/DVD. The module
iso-image.nix contains the minimal stuff necessary to build a
  bootable ISO image containing the given configuration.  The idea is
  that this can be customised by providing additional modules, e.g. to
  add extra packages to the image.

  The ISO image is exported in the configuration attribute
  system.build.isoImage.  So it can be built as follows:

  $ nix-build lib/eval-config.nix \
      --arg configuration 'import ./modules/installer/cd-dvd/iso-image.nix' \
      -A config.system.build.isoImage
