* Don't use smart quotes where normal ASCII quotes are intended.
...
Actually, don't use quotes at all. (Reported by Howard B. Golden.)

* Updated the quick start section. Use channels instead of
...
downloading Nix expressions and calling nix-pull. This is so
user-friendly that even a Mac user can do it! :-)

* `nix-collect-garbage' now actually performs a garbage collection, it
...
doesn't just print the set of paths that should be deleted. So
there is no more need to pipe the result into `nix-store --delete'
(which doesn't even exist anymore).

* Lots of manual stuff. Reference pages for most Nix commands.
...
* nix-pull now requires the full url to the manifest, i.e.,
`/MANIFEST/' is no longer automatically appended.
* nix-prefetch-url works again.

* Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,
...
default -> default-94-link
default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8...
...
default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca...
experimental -> experimental-2-link
experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f...
* `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S'
* `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p'
* The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles.
$prefix/var/nix/links is gone. Profiles can be stored anywhere.
* The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not
~/.nix-userenv.
* The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not
`.id'.
