iso-image.nix contains the minimal stuff necessary to build a
bootable ISO image containing the given configuration. The idea is
that this can be customised by providing additional modules, e.g. to
add extra packages to the image.
The ISO image is exported in the configuration attribute
system.build.isoImage. So it can be built as follows:
$ nix-build lib/eval-config.nix \
--arg configuration 'import ./modules/installer/cd-dvd/iso-image.nix' \
-A config.system.build.isoImage

about VirtualBox, but the different timing makes it more likely to
trigger this bug.)

can hang forever if the network is down. (Actually it will sit in a
loop waiting for UDP packets that will never arrive.) This causes
the NixOS reboot to hang, since Upstart can't kill jobs stuck in
their start script.

follows the Upstart terminology: a service is a job that doesn't
usually terminate (e.g. a daemon), while a task is a job that does
some work and then exits.

add support to the users-groups.nix module for creating accounts
with an empty password.
