Eelco Dolstra fff7011066 Purifying the NixOS build stuff.

* make-initrd.nix: builds a initial RAM disk.  The resulting initrd
  will contain just a Nix store containing the specified lists of
  packages, with a symlink `/init' to the actual init program in the
  Nix store.

* make-iso9660-image.nix: builds a bootable ISO image.

* rescue-system.nix: builds a bootable ISO image (using the two
  function above) that boots into a very minimal Linux environment
  containing (at the moment) the dietlibc-based bash and coreutils,
  loaded from the initrd.  Eventually this should become a two-stage
  boot (load kernel modules from the initrd, mount the actual root
  file system (e.g., the installation CD), call the real init).

  The rescue system (probably a misnomer) should become the minimal
  environment necessary for the installer (on CD) and the boot process
  of an installed NixOS (on HD).
