Unless configure or the Makefiles have hard-coded references to /usr, this will
work fine for development.  You'll probably want to specify a --prefix to some
other location than /usr though.  I also set $NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE to

  -I/home/eelco/.nix-profile/include -L/home/eelco/.nix-profile/lib

and $ACLOCAL_PATH to

  /home/eelco/.nix-profile/share/aclocal

to ensure that GCC and the Autotools can find dependencies installed in my profile.
