Only needed for us (it gives a high-level description of the build
process, and allows it to be rebuilt incrementally if an intermediate
package changes taking account of the dependencies - sort of like
make, but not relying on timestamps).
It has an option to export xml and generate dependency lists so we
should be able to generate a normal build script or Makefile/configure
script for end users from the nix definitions.
