Eelco Dolstra 7dd91d3779 * Prebuilt package sharing. We allow transparent binary deployment by
sharing package directories (i.e., the result of building a Nix
  descriptor).

  `nix-pull-prebuilts' obtains a list of all known prebuilts by
  consulting the paths and URLs specified in
  $prefix/etc/nix/prebuilts.conf.  The mappings ($pkghash,
  $prebuilthash) and ($prebuilthash, $location) are registered with
  Nix so that it can use the prebuilt with hash $prebuilthash when
  installing a package with hash $pkghash by downloading and unpacking
  $location.

  `nix-push-prebuilts' creates prebuilts for all packages for which no
  prebuilt is known to exist.  It can then optionally upload these
  to the network through rsync.

  `nix-[pull|push]-prebuilts' just provide a policy.  Nix provides the
  mechanism through the `nix [export|regprebuilt|regurl]' commands.
