Eelco Dolstra 3eb6217508 Add a "root" parameter to local stores 
This makes it easier to create a diverted store, i.e.

  NIX_REMOTE="local?root=/tmp/root"

instead of

  NIX_REMOTE="local?real=/tmp/root/nix/store&state=/tmp/root/nix/var/nix" NIX_LOG_DIR=/tmp/root/nix/var/log

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.
