36b90e72d7 nix-shell: Add --packages flag 
This allows you to easily set up a build environment containing the
specified packages from Nixpkgs.  For example:

  $ nix-shell -p sqlite xorg.libX11 hello

will start a shell in which the given packages are present.

c31836008e nix-instantiate: Add a flag --expr / -E to read expressions from the command line 
This is basically a shortcut for ‘echo 'expr...' | nix-instantiate -’.
Also supported by nix-build and nix-shell.

e81d38c02b nix-shell: Execute shellHook if it exists 
Since normal builds don't execute shellHook, this allows nix-shell
specific customisation.  Suggested by Domen.

57386c9bae Binary tarball: Automatically create /nix 
The tarball can now be unpacked anywhere.  The installation script
uses "sudo" to create /nix if it doesn't exist.  It also fetches the
nixpkgs-unstable channel.

0c3e8a616e nix-instantiate: Add a --no-readonly-mode flag 
This allows running nix-instantiate --eval-only without performing the
evaluation in readonly mode, letting features like import from
derivation and automatic substitution of builtins.storePath paths work.

5bc41d78ff Rename "attribute sets" to "sets" 
We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is
unnecessarily verbose.

792fd51f41 Fold two stack trace messages in derivations 
Combined with the previous changes, stack traces involving derivations
are now much less verbose, since something like

  while evaluating the builtin function `getAttr':
  while evaluating the builtin function `derivationStrict':
  while instantiating the derivation named `gtk+-2.24.20' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/2.x.nix:11:3':
  while evaluating the derivation attribute `propagatedNativeBuildInputs' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/default.nix:78:17':
  while evaluating the attribute `outPath' at `/nix/store/212ngf4ph63mp6p1np2bapkfikpakfv7-nix-1.6/share/nix/corepkgs/derivation.nix:18:9':
  ...

now reads
