Nix build support could be very useful #60

Description

@stephenrkell

A really good idea raised by @clearyf -- a Nix set-up allowing user-level build and test could be useful in several ways.

  • to reliably build liballocs much as Docker currently (in theory) does, but perhaps more easily
  • helping students or casual-interest users get up-to-speed more quickly than Docker does, sidestepping problems around debugging/ptracing and the sometimes-inconvenient separateness of containers
  • to build other packages using its instrumentation, that of libcrunch, and so on, by including liballocs's tools in the Nix package-build toolchain
