[Nix-dev] How to package FZF?

[Spencer Whitt]

Homebrew took the approach of packaging the install and uninstall scripts
themselves (for the user to run manually), as well as the fzf binary and
the shell completion scripts. You might be able to borrow that idea. Due to
the way the project is currently set up, I can't think of any more elegant
solution.
