style of declaring Upstart jobs. While at it, converted them to the
current NixOS module style and improved some option descriptions.
Hopefully I didn't break too much :-)

separate module, which just declares a configuration value that
causes the xinetd module to add it to xinetd.conf. Also Nixified
the service declarations to abstract over the inetd implementation.
* Renamed the services.xinetd.tftpd options to services.tftpd. The
fact that the tftpd module uses xinetd is an implementation detail.
* xinetd: use -dontfork to let Upstart monitor it, and use -syslog to
get error messages at startup.

machine containing a replica (minus the state) of the system
configuration. This is mostly useful for testing configuration
changes prior to doing an actual "nixos-rebuild switch" (or even
"nixos-rebuild test"). The VM can be started as follows:
$ nixos-rebuild build-vm
$ ./result/bin/run-*-vm
which starts a KVM/QEMU instance. Additional QEMU options can be
passed through the QEMU_OPTS environment variable
(e.g. QEMU_OPTS="-redir tcp:8080::80" to forward a host port to the
guest). The fileSystem attribute of the regular system
configuration is ignored (using mkOverride), because obviously we
can't allow the VM to access the host's block devices. Instead, at
startup the VM creates an empty disk image in ./<hostname>.qcow2 to
store the VM's root filesystem.
Building a VM in this way is efficient because the VM shares its Nix
store with the host (through a CIFS mount). However, because the
Nix store of the host is mounted read-only in the guest, you cannot
run Nix build actions inside the VM. Therefore the VM can only be
reconfigured by re-running "nixos-rebuild build-vm" on the host and
restarting the VM.

* Simplified the pre-start script of the network-interfaces module.
* Removed wireless support from the network-interfaces module. It
only worked for static WEP configurations anyway, and AFAIK nobody
used it.

start script. It's probably not necessary, but more importantly, it
can hang forever if the network is down. (Actually it will sit in a
loop waiting for UDP packets that will never arrive.) This causes
the NixOS reboot to hang, since Upstart can't kill jobs stuck in
their start script.

some things since there are a few relative paths in modules
(e.g. imports of system/ids.nix).
* Moved some PAM modules out of etc/pam.d to the directories of NixOS
modules that use them.
