Eelco Dolstra 663c06e8cd Disable building in chroot for Nix's corepkgs
The dependencies of the corepkgs are not necessarily in the chroot (or
in the Nix store), so don't build them in a chroot.

Eelco Dolstra e855c7e2c9 nix-channel improvements
"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name.
This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable.
If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL
(with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed).

Also, channels are now stored in a profile
(/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels).  One advantage of
this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives
an undesirable update).
