Eelco Dolstra f83c5e3e5f * Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switches
the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to
  .../links/current).  /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink
  if it doesn't exist yet.  Example use:

  $ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake
  $ nix-env -p my_profile

  I don't like the term "profile".  Let's deprecate it :-)

Overview
========

Nix is a package manager, deployment system, and component glue
mechanism.


Prerequisites
=============

* Berkeley DB 4.0.14
* CWI ATerm 2.0


Installation
============

* When building from the Subversion repository, first do:

    autoreconf -i

* To build, do:

    ./configure
    make
    make install

  Note that this will install to /nix, which is the default prefix.
  You can specify another prefix, but this is not recommended if you
  want to use prebuilt packages from other sources.


Usage
=====
