/var/run/current-system/sw/share/nix/manual/

NixOS manual seems not to be in NixPkgs (as it is in nixos/ tree in repository, partially)
Maybe an option to have a similar location to build it is good.

Symlinking a few /var/run/current-system paths into wanted directory Apache serves should be trivial. nix-manual-firefox command looks like a big overkill, too.
