[Nix-dev] nix on mac

[Patrick Wheeler]

@ I have and to use it on my mac laptop as well. Though I I use a vm of
nixos now more then I do then the mac version.

I used it for different python versions, haskell versions, at one point I
had to change some nix expressions to get gtk and the haskell bindings to
work.  I also used it to install xmonad and some networking tools as well.
