Add fetchTarball builtin
This function downloads and unpacks the given URL at evaluation time. This is primarily intended to make it easier to deal with Nix expressions that have external dependencies. For instance, to fetch Nixpkgs 14.12: with import (fetchTarball https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-14.12.tar.gz) {}; Or to fetch a specific revision: with import (fetchTarball https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/2766a4b44ee6eafae03a042801270c7f6b8ed32a.tar.gz) {}; This patch also adds a ‘fetchurl’ builtin that downloads but doesn't unpack its argument. Not sure if it's useful though.
