This adds support for s3:// URIs in all places where Nix allows URIs, e.g. in builtins.fetchurl, builtins.fetchTarball, <nix/fetchurl.nix> and NIX_PATH. It allows fetching resources from private S3 buckets, using credentials obtained from the standard places (i.e. AWS_* environment variables, ~/.aws/credentials and the EC2 metadata server). This may not be super-useful in general, but since we already depend on aws-sdk-cpp, it's a cheap feature to add. |

Nix, the purely functional package manager
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of it's purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
