hi all,

nix-env keeps being a pain in the neck when used for installing packages.
If I install for example subversion using nix-env -i, it wants to install
3 versions, when I install findutils it wants to install 2 version (one
original, one wrapper so it can find the right locate database and such).

There is no straightforward solution right now and it is very confusing
for users and really a lot of effort to get everything right.
