[Nix-dev] GHCJS support in nixpkgs

[Patrick Wheeler]

I would be interested. I have some scripts that I have been working on as
well.

I have ghcjs building, but I need to move the ghcjs-boot script that builds
the base libraries into a nix-script to make the build pure. An impure
manual test works which is a good sign.

`cabal sandbox init ghcjs` seems to work fine with a few sample builds,
with the impure build.

I manually tests a nix-script that can install ghcjs versions of a package
from the standard cabal2nix script.

A modified wrapper script for ghcjs is still needed so that it can find the
nix installed ghcjs versions of packages are found by ghcjs automatically.
