* Added a script nix-activate which builds a list of "activated"
  packages (i.e., the packages that should appear in the user's $PATH,
  and so on).  Based on this list, the script nix-populate creates a
  hierarchy of symlinks to the relevant files in those packages (e.g.,
  for pkg/bin and pkg/lib).  

  A nice property of nix-populate is that on each run it creates a
  *new* tree, rather than updating the old one.  It then atomically
  switches over to the new tree.  This allows atomic upgrades or
  rollbacks on the set of activated packages.
