Eelco Dolstra f8035d06f2 * Allow a name to be given to a system configuration through `--name
NAME'.  E.g., on the losser Subversion server, I do `nix-switch --name 
  svn $(fix ...)' to atomically upgrade the server (the SVN server 
  uses the Apache and Subversion installations in /nix/var/nix/links/svn).
