Nix Packages collection & NixOS

This will break part of the bootstrap tools tests because the new tools need some changes in the stdenv, but if I change them all at once, the stdenv breaks with the old bootstrap tools. So I'm doing this first, then will make changes to the stdenv once this bundle is built and I can use it. I also added some functionality to let me test one set of bootstrap tools on another nixpkgs tree, which makes testing a lot more pleasant. |

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-16.03
for the latest
release and nixos-unstable
for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master
.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/
folder.
