[Nix-dev] stack2nix first public release (0.1.3.0)

[Domen Kožar]

It needs `cabal update` to fetch latest package index as it may need the
very new package index.

callHackage will generate Nix expression on each call, which does bring
some overhead. It's better
to generate expressions in a file that can be read with an editor.
