`@var@' in the file `src', writing the result to $out, where `var'
is any environment variable starting with a lowercase character.
Example:
genericSubstituter {
src = ./file;
foo = "bla";
shell = bash + "/bin/sh";
};
will replace `@foo@' with `bla' and `@shell@' with
`/nix/store/...-bash-.../bin/sh'.

* make-initrd.nix: builds a initial RAM disk. The resulting initrd
will contain just a Nix store containing the specified lists of
packages, with a symlink `/init' to the actual init program in the
Nix store.
* make-iso9660-image.nix: builds a bootable ISO image.
* rescue-system.nix: builds a bootable ISO image (using the two
function above) that boots into a very minimal Linux environment
containing (at the moment) the dietlibc-based bash and coreutils,
loaded from the initrd. Eventually this should become a two-stage
boot (load kernel modules from the initrd, mount the actual root
file system (e.g., the installation CD), call the real init).
The rescue system (probably a misnomer) should become the minimal
environment necessary for the installer (on CD) and the boot process
of an installed NixOS (on HD).

bash doesn't check the exit status of the inner commands. Replace
the $(nix-store -r $(nix-instantiate)) calls with nix-build.
* Some of the diet packages are gone now, use the dietlibc stdenv.

* Kernel: accept a list of kernel patches through the kernelPatches
argument. The names of the patches are added to the description
attribute (e.g., "The Linux kernel (with patches:
skas-2.6.18-v9-pre9)").
* Generic builder (forked in setup-new.sh): support patches that are
compressed using gzip or bzip2.

- Hack to make it work with the latest host kernel headers
(2.6.18.1).
- Don't call depmod impurily, rather use oldskool modutils.
- modutils: use the final version, and use GCC 3.4 to compile it
(4.1 doesn't work).

* To prevent this kind of thing, check that all tools are statically
linked.
* Use findutils 4.2.27, 4.2.28 doesn't build with dietlibc.

the new $NIX_GCC/nix-support/dynamic-linker file to locate the
dynamic linker directly (don't hardcode ld-linux.so.2).
