[Nix-dev] How to write module outside the nixpkgs tree and integrated with nixos-rebuild

[Layus]

Oh, it seems that you misunderstood me.

My point is that that particular information (i.e. "How to add custom 
modules?") is not easy to find in the docs/wiki.
I claim this based on the (relatively) big number of users asking that 
question on the mailing list and at NixCon.

So I asked you to give examples of places where you looked for that 
piece of information (wiki, nixos man, eetc ?), and how you looked for 
it (google, nixos options, nixos.org search? what keywords you used, etc.).
That way, I would know where to add the required explanations to help 
future users facing the same question.
