* Set the NIX_STORE and NIX_BUILD_TOP environment variables in

Browse source 
builders to point to the store and the temporary build directory,
  respectively.  Useful for purity checking.
* Also set TEMPDIR, TMPDIR, TEMP, and TEMP to NIX_BUILD_TOP to make
  sure that tools in the builder store temporary files in the right
  location.
