I think I'm missing some bit of special sauce, because when I run these
commands, `./Setup configure reports that several of the dependencies are
missing:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ghc784:[johnw at Vulcan:~/src/gitlib/gitlib-libgit2]$
  nix-shell '<nixpkgs>' -A haskellngPackages.hspec.env

\[\][nix-shell:~/src/gitlib/gitlib-libgit2]$\[\] ./Setup configure
Configuring gitlib-libgit2-3.1.0.2...
Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing:
gitlib >=3.0.0,
hlibgit2 >=0.18.0.11,
missing-foreign >=0.1.1,
monad-control <1.0,
monad-logger >=0.3.4.1,
stm-conduit >=2.3.0,
text-icu >=0.6.3
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Also, would it be much work to get the hoogleLocal expression working within
the NG framework?
