[Nix-dev] Jar files

[Daniel Peebles]

I was actually thinking in relation to Alois' question earlier on this
list. There are jars that bundle (protoc) binaries in them, and I've always
thought it would be nicer if we could just call out to the actual protoc
package in Nix.

The -0 idea would probably work for now, as I don't think the compression
actually buys us much. The other thing sounds cool, but probably hard :)
