35f5252630 * If building nixFallback fails, use nixUnstable from Nixpkgs as
a last-chance fallback.

b9dd7509b6 * nixos-rebuild: before building NixOS, first build the latest Nix and
use that one to build NixOS.  This will make it easier to use
  bleeding-edge features in the NixOS expressions.

f2780fdc62 * Add a top-level default.nix for NixOS which has attributes useful
for building parts of the system.  E.g.

  $ nix-build /etc/nixos/nixos -A upstartJobs.xserver

  to build the Upstart job for the X server, or

  $ nix-build /etc/nixos/nixos -A kernel

  to build the NixOS kernel.

* /etc/profile.sh: if ~/.nix-defexpr doesn't exist yet, create it as a
  directory and add links to root's channels, /etc/nixos/nixos and
  /etc/nixos/install-source.nix (as "nixpkgs_sys").
  
* boot.useKernel -> boot.kernel.

2a4417d637 * make-etc / activate-configuration: allow /etc files to be installed
as regular files instead of symlinks to the store.
* Sudo configuration, enabled through security.sudo.enable (on by
  default).  The contents of the sudoers file is specified in
  security.sudo.configFile.  The default sudoers file allows members
  of the new "wheel" group to run any command.

ad22e587ab * nixos-rebuild: do a nix-pull on the Nixpkgs channel manifest. I.e., you
don't need to be subscribed to the Nixpkgs channel to get binary downloads.
  This is possible because nix-pull is now pretty fast.
