nix build: Use Nix search path
That is, unless --file is specified, the Nix search path is
synthesized into an attribute set. Thus you can say

  $ nix build nixpkgs.hello

assuming $NIX_PATH contains an entry of the form "nixpkgs=...". This
is more verbose than

  $ nix build hello

but is less ambiguous.
