NixOS has a rather different way of doing development. Each application and 
library has its own folder in /nix/store. That allows one to switch between 
different version of applications quickly and lets normal users install any 
software that does not need runtime root privileges. But builing can be tricky 
althought the resulting recipy usually looks quite elegant. I'll investigate 
how to build and will report back.

That sound great. I'm looking forward to it.

Allowing cookies on http://roscidus.com/blog/cuekeeper/ indeed solves the
