0a2bee307b Make <nix/fetchurl.nix> a builtin builder 
This ensures that 1) the derivation doesn't change when Nix changes;
2) the derivation closure doesn't contain Nix and its dependencies; 3)
we don't have to rely on ugly chroot hacks.

6519f06f39 nix-env/nix-instantiate/nix-build: Support URIs 
For instance, you can install Firefox from a specific Nixpkgs revision
like this:

  $ nix-env -f 63def04891.tar.gz -iA firefox

Or build a package from the latest nixpkgs-unstable channel:

  $ nix-build https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz -A hello

9451ef3731 Allow URLs in the Nix search path 
E.g. to install "hello" from the latest Nixpkgs:

  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

Or to install a specific version of NixOS:

  $ nixos-rebuild switch -I nixpkgs=63def04891.tar.gz
