Support auto-configuration of build-max-jobs
"build-max-jobs" and the "-j" option can now be set to "auto" to use
the number of CPUs in the system. (Unlike build-cores, it doesn't use
0 to imply auto-configuration, because a) magic values are a bad idea
in general; b) 0 is a legitimate value used to disable local
building.)

Fixes #1198.

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of it's purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
