Yes it does. I had *just* gotten back from IRQ and I guess I didn't
read you post thoroughly :-)  BTW, thanks for helping me.

I changed it to "sdl-env" at one point and then changed it back to "sdl". Still

  $ nix-env -iA sdlEnv
  error: attribute `sdlEnv' in selection path `sdlEnv' not found

I don't really care right now, since installing without -A works, but
if you have some ideas on why this doesn't work on my machine I am
willing to give them a try :-)

Anyway, I've sent a pull request on github so that the next NixOS
newbie doesn't get bit by this small bug/typo too:
