Yes this is exactly where I want to go. I need a C++ and Mozart/oz environment, now does one have this default.nix committed to the mozart/oz project's repo? Should one use nix-shell to change to this environment? So portablility is ensured by committing the new environment to some folder branch in nixpkgs, or just ship default.nix? I compile the mozart2 compiler (which is dependent on boost) as soon as I try execute the development environment it blowsup because it can't see boost deps. So I obviously need a hybrid C++/mozart-oz solution.

My dependencies are
Boost, Tcl, Tk, xlibs, xproto, Java, clang, llvm, gtest, gcc, I also have a load of environmental variables. I noticed there is a build.sh which allows me to abstract away Mozart's build. 

Kind regards
