I see 2 problems with your (Ludovic Courtès) approach:
1) You need to rewrite fetchdarcs/fetchsvn/fetchgit each time.
2) In NixOS fetch* is usually executed by nixbld1. Which ~/.managed-repos do 
you want to use?

I think that the original approach is better. Does it provide some nix 
function to use instead of fetch*? Or I should use fetchfile?
