# Helper function to synthesize a directory of "lazy-built" binaries
# that can be added to $PATH inside of a repository.
#
# Using this, a Nix shell environment in some repository can contain
# several slow-to-build commands without blowing up evaluation and
# build time whenever the shell is loaded.
#
# Note that the generated script is deliberately impure to speed up
# evaluation, and expects both `git` and `nix-build` to exist in the
# user's $PATH. If required, this can be done in the shell
# configuration invoking this function.
