Patch the source code to find "xset" in $PATH rather than expecting the
hard-coded path "/usr/bin/xset" to work. I've decided *not* to hard-code
a proper path like "${xset}/bin/xset", because that reference greatly
increases the size of the powertop closure. Since "xset" is required
only for --calibrate (and that even seems to work fine without it), it
felt like an optional dependency is more appropriate in this case.
Thanks to @heydojo locating the source code file that needs patching.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
