49e8829053 * Use unionfs to provide a real Live CD, i.e., the files on the CD
appear writable (though all writes go to a tmpfs).  This allows you
  to run Nix operations on the Live CD.  However, we're not quite
  there yet since the CD doesn't have a valid Nix database.  So for
  instance a garbage collect will cause everything to be deleted,
  hanging the system.

fcef0545be * A program for generating the hardware-specific bits of
configuration.nix.  Right now it finds out the following:

  - How many CPUs the machine has (for nix.maxJobs).
  - Whether to load KVM support (either kvm-intel or kvm-amd).
  - The modules necessary for the initrd by scanning the PCI and USB
    busses.  Only mass-storage and HID related modules are added.

cfed953b5f * Option to enable the Intel 3945 firmware. (It's enabled by
default since it doesn't seem to have the legal issues of
  the Intel 2200 firmware.)
* Firmware loader: don't write in /tmp.  Also a hack to quickly
  test new firmwares.
* Revert r10105 since the build fails if configuration.nix 
  is a symlink.  Anyway copying configuration.nix does not
  necessarily make sense since it can import other expressions,
  which would also have to be copied.  Perhaps a better 
  approach would be to write a serialisation of the config
  to a file (maybe with builtins.toXML).
