Do we have some step-by-step instructions for this basic case?

Of course, I can hack it up, we're all pros, but instructions still help
a lot.

I know about
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/13694220/download/1/hydra/manual.html, but
it talks about building your own package on hydra, I'd really like to
have something which is very similar to hydra.nixos.org, is building the
same release and even creating the binary cache in some directory maybe
(as hydra.nixos.org does).
