I made a nix expression from your script to run against nixpkgs-libre.
It seems to work ok on fencepost (using stdenvNative) but I'm not sure
if it is the "correct" way to do it--I'm still learning the nix
language.  I will refine it and look at what dependencies we are
bringing in.

I think we can easily restrict the build to our candidate package set
by fixing the gnu entry in mirrors.nix to point a local directory, so
we only bring in the specific GNU package versions we want.

Incidentally, is there any documentation about how to write a Hydra
jobset?  I looked at your guile-2-test.nix but couldn't figure it out
from that.
