Oh, I'm using parts of those scripts as well. I was thinking of parsing 
http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/trunk instead (which would be more 
bandwidth-efficient), but your solution was easier.

It might be useful to be able to have one commit change both nixos and 
nixpkgs. Dependencies between the repos aren't too frequent, but still I 
think they should be "seen" somehow.
