actually realize them as well. D'oh!

e76efef0d0 make sure we always have mktemp, by building our own version first using Nix. 
This makes it a bit more pure to build the NixOS iso. Still room for improvement though...

fe355bba78 replace a lot of tools we initially use with statically linked versions. 
This reduces the ramdisk installer size with a few megabytes when gzipped,
but with about 40 MB when unpacked in memory.

There are a few improvements possible:

- strip the binaries. This saves another few MBs.
- only copy the binaries we really need to /bin or /sbin. This could reduce
the size of the installer a lot, especially with util-linux, of which we
don't use that many tools at all.
- try to move some packages we link with glibc right now (like util-linux) to
dietlibc. This will not work for bash, already tried that.
- try to use busybox as a replacement for everything.

de289092b2 - various cleanups 
- have mingetty listen on tty2 (but this still fails because of missing /dev/log
- get rid of /init on the targetdrive, solely use /sbin/init (and even that has to go one day)
- use dietlibc statically linked e2fsprogs for the installer. More to come :)

93bcd71b15 This update fixes a few critical errors: 
- cd to the right directory when making the initramfs image (stupid stupid stupid mistake, cost me a day of work!)
- make a bunch of devices inside the ramdisk
- copy the kernel and all modules to the CD image
- set the #! line in fill-disk to the right place (as in, append /bin/sh, another stupidity, which was luckily easily spot after fixing the first mistake, which was far more important)
