[Nix-dev] kdepim-4.2.0 cmake_install

[Andrew Morsillo]

 I am still working on it. I have almost everything building now so I
will attach
nix expressions soon. I am still pretty new to nixos and have no clue on how
 to go about adding options to configuration.nix and how to properly start
 kde4 now that it mostly builds, so some advice would be appreciated.
