While BOINC itself is open source, many of the project applications it runs are not. Additionally, these project applications are checksummed before they are run, so they can't be patched. This means we can't make the project applications find required binaries/libraries on a NixOS system. The solution is therefore to make said binaries and libraries appear in the expected locations, by wrapping BOINC in an FHS-compatible environment [1]. An `extraEnvPackages` is also added to allow more packages to be added into this environment. The documentation for this option describes some practical use cases for it.
