Ricardo M. Correia 700c678c2e nix-env: Minor change to '--delete-generations Nd' semantics 
The option '--delete-generations Nd' deletes all generations older than N
days. However, most likely the user does not want to delete the
generation that was active N days ago.

For example, say that you have these 3 generations:

1: <30 days ago>
2: <15 days ago>
3: <1 hour ago>

If you do --delete-generations 7d (say, as part of a cron job), most
likely you still want to keep generation 2, i.e. the generation that was
active 7 days ago (and for most of the past 7 days, in fact).

This patch fixes this issue. Note that this also affects
'nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than Nd'.

Thanks to @roconnor for noticing the issue!

Eelco Dolstra 36b90e72d7 nix-shell: Add --packages flag 
This allows you to easily set up a build environment containing the
specified packages from Nixpkgs.  For example:

will start a shell in which the given packages are present.

Eelco Dolstra 2c1ecf8e81 nix-env -i: Add a flag ‘--remove-all’ / ‘-r’ 
This is equivalent to running ‘nix-env -e '*'’ first, except that it
happens in a single transaction.  Thus, ‘nix-env -i pkgs...’ replaces
the profile with the specified set of packages.

The main motivation is to support declarative package management
(similar to environment.systemPackages in NixOS).  That is, if you
have a specification ‘profile.nix’ like this:

  with import <nixpkgs> {};
  [ thunderbird
    geeqie
    ...
  ]

then after any change to ‘profile.nix’, you can run:

  $ nix-env -f profile.nix -ir

to update the profile to match the specification.  (Without the ‘-r’
flag, if you remove a package from ‘profile.nix’, it won't be removed
from the actual profile.)

Suggested by @zefhemel.
