[Nix-dev] update to build nautilus and compiz

[Christoph Herbst]

Hello Tony,

it seams that you are right.
The time zone information is included in the glibc package.
Thanks for the hint.
Now libgweather compiles, but I ran into a different issue:
When compiling compiz, at some point it complains about not finding
ranlib, even though it was used before.

regards,
Christoph.
