Robert Helgesson eca29bd72d Derive Emacs nix-mode from prog-mode.
Emacs 24.1 introduced the notion of "basic major modes" and among these
is prog-mode, see section "23.2.5 Basic Major Modes" in the Emacs
manual. The prog-mode basic major mode is recommended as a base for
derived major modes that are intended for editing source code.

"Major mode for editing Nix expressions.
The following commands may be useful:
'\\[newline-and-indent]'
Insert a newline and move the cursor to align with the previous
non-empty line.
'\\[fill-paragraph]'
Refill a paragraph so that all lines are at most `fill-column'
lines long. This should do the right thing for comments beginning
with `#'. However, this command doesn't work properly yet if the
comment is adjacent to code (i.e., no intervening empty lines).
In that case, select the text to be refilled and use
`\\[fill-region]' instead.
The hook `nix-mode-hook' is run when Nix mode is started.
