Subject: * Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles.  It
 switches   the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults
 to   .../links/current).  /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink  
 if it doesn't exist yet.  Example use:

  $ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake
  $ nix-env -p my_profile

  I don't like the term "profile".  Let's deprecate it :-)
